Despite its benefit in a wide range of applications, data mining techniques also have raised a number of ethical issues. Some such issues include those of privacy, data security,...
We describe a general approach to optimization which we term Squeaky Wheel" Optimization SWO. In SWO, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a solution which is then analyze...
This paper studies efficient learning with respect to mind changes. Our starting point is the idea that a learner that is efficient with respect to mind changes minimizes mind cha...
Statistical quantities, such as expectation (mean) and variance, play a vital role in the present age probabilistic analysis. In this paper, we present some formalization of expect...
An ever greater range of applications call for learning from sequences. Grammar induction is one prominent tool for sequence learning, it is therefore important to know its proper...
