  <description><![CDATA[Prediction markets, when they work well, solve a fundamental problem: how to aggregate individual beliefs into a meaningful quantitative estimate of the probability that a given event will occur. They also provide incentives for people to disseminate privately-held information. I will describe one way to help these markets work better: incorporating a learning agent who provides liquidity, called a market maker. Along the way, the design of this agent raises and solves some fundamental proble...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Many Internet failures are caused by misconﬁgurations of the BGP routers that manage routing of trafﬁc between domains. The problems are usually due to a combination of human errors and the lack of a high-level language for specifying routing policies that can be used to generate router conﬁgurations. We describe an implemented approach that uses a declarative language for specifying network-wide routing policies to automatically conﬁgure routers and show how it can also be used by so...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Trust is a statement (or prediction of reliance) about what is otherwise unknown or uncertain -- for example, because it is far away, cannot be verified, or is in the future. Trust is pervasive and beneficial in complex social systems. It can be built from direct interactions between the source party (truster) and the target (trustee). However, in large open systems, it is infeasible for each party to have a direct basis for trusting another party. Therefore, the participants in an open syste...]]></description>

The problem of learning to control an agent in an arbitrary environment is
difficult. In robotics, the standard approach is to hand-code and manually
fine-tune a robot's perception of its environment and the actions it should
take given its current state. This is both time-consuming and expensive. A
better approach is to learn features and action policies without significant
manual intervention. This problem is investigated in the context of learning
image features to con...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Transfer in machine learning is the process of using knowledge
learned in a source domain to speed learning in one or more related
target domains. In human learning, transfer is a ubiquitous
phenomenon. In machine learning, transfer is far less common. In
this thesis we present a transfer method for reinforcement learning
when the learner does not have access to a model of either the
source or the target domains (i.e., the transition and reward
probabilities are unknown) and there is n...]]></description>
