Maiej, With regard to semi-supervised learning, we have taken baby steps in getting all of our classifiers and clustering algorithms to speak a common language.
The goal is to have a classifier be usable in all contexts, regardless of whether it came from supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised origins. That is an area where work is needed. We have no reinforcement learning or active learning capabilities. Those would also be areas of some potential, especially the active learning. Vowpal Wabbit just added an active learning component which is reputedly doing very well. 2010/12/27 Maciej Jaskowski <[email protected]> > Thank you for all answers! > > @Shannon: thank you for indicating those.
