This paper considers the task of finding a target location by making a limited number of sequential observations. Each observation results from evaluating an imperfect classifier of a chosen cost and accuracy on an interval of chosen length and position. Within a Bayesian framework, we study the problem of minimizing an objective that combines the entropy of the posterior distribution with the ...

We organized a data mining challenge in “unsupervised and transfer learning” (the UTL challenge) followed by a workshop of the same name at the ICML 2011 conference in Bellevue, Washington. This introduction presents the highlights of the outstanding contributions that were made, which are regrouped in this issue of JMLR W&CP. Novel methodologies emerged to capitalize on large volumes of unlabe...
