Machine learning is all about getting computers to "understand" new concepts, but it's still a pretty inefficient process, often requiring hundreds of examples for training. That may soon change ...

Evolutionary algorithm outperforms deep-learning machines at video games Neural networks have garnered all the headlines, but a much more powerful approach is waiting in the wings.

As such, our learning algorithms are not naive adoptions of the classic UCB algorithm; in fact, the design of the simulation steps with the Kaplan–Meier estimator and averaging steps is novel in our ...
