Algorithmic Learning Theory: 16th International Conference, ALT 2005, Singapore, October 8-11, 2005, Proceedings / Edition 1

by Sanjay Jain, Hans Ulrich Simon, Etsuji Tomita

Overview

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory, ALT 2005, held in Singapore in October 2005. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers and an introduction by the editors were carefully reviewed and selected from 98 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on kernel-based learning, bayesian and statistical models, PAC-learning, query-learning, inductive inference, language learning, learning and logic, learning from expert advice, online learning, defensive forecasting, and teaching
