AIR Distinguished Seminar: Maria Florina Balcan, Machine Learning: New Challenges and Connections

Over the past decades, machine learning has evolved into a highly successful discipline that has significantly influenced several fields, including vision, information retrieval, and biology. Many of these advances are based on standard learning techniques where classifiers are trained based on large amounts of fully annotated data. As the field of machine learning is maturing, new opportunities await for fundamentally new training paradigms that could significantly broaden its impact and applicability. The
