Sample reusability in importance-weighted active learning

Recent advances in importance-weighted active learning solve many of the problems of traditional active learning strategies. But does importance-weighted active learning also produce a reusable sample selection? This thesis explains why reusability can be a problem, how importance-weighted active learning removes some of the barriers to...

Improving Cross-Validation Classifier Selection Accuracy through Meta-learning

In order to choose from the large number of classification methods available for use, cross-validation error estimates are often employed. We present this cross-validation selection strategy in the framework of meta-learning and show that conceptually, meta-learning techniques could provide better classifier selections than traditional cross...
