In literature, learning with expert advice methods usually assume that a learner always obtain the true label of every incoming training instance at the end of each trial. However, in many real-world applications, acquiring the true labels of all instances can be both costly and time consuming, especially for large-scale problems. For example, in the social media, data stream usually comes in a high speed and volume, and it is nearly impossible and highly costly to label all of the instances. In this article, we address this problem with active learning with expert advice, where the ground truth of an …

Although dispersing one single task to distributed learning nodes has been intensively studied by the previous research, multi-task learning on distributed networks is still an area that has not been fully exploited, especially under decentralized settings. The challenge lies in the fact that different tasks may have different optimal learning weights while communication through the distributed network forces all tasks to converge to an unique classifier. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm to overcome this challenge and enable learning multiple tasks simultaneously on a decentralized distributed network. Specifically, the learning framework can be separated into two phases: (i) …

Machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques have been applied to construct online portfolio selection strategies recently. A popular and state-of-the-art family of strategies is to explore the reversion phenomenon through online learning algorithms and statistical prediction models. Despite gaining promising results on some benchmark datasets, these strategies often adopt a single model based on a selection criterion (e.g., breakdown point) for predicting future price. However, such model selection is often unstable and may cause unnecessarily high variability in the final estimation, leading to poor prediction performance in real datasets and thus non-optimal portfolios. To overcome the drawbacks, in this article, …

One critical deficiency of traditional online kernel learning methods is their unbounded and growing number of support vectors in the online learning process, making them inefficient and non-scalable for large-scale applications. Recent studies on scalable online kernel learning have attempted to overcome this shortcoming, e.g., by imposing a constant budget on the number of support vectors. Although they attempt to bound the number of support vectors at each online learning iteration, most of them fail to bound the number of support vectors for the final output hypothesis, which is often obtained by averaging the series of hypotheses over all the …
