Abstract
A comprehensive look at learning and generalization theory. The statistical theory of learning and generalization concerns the problem of choosing desired functions on the basis of empirical data. Highly applicable to a variety of computer science and robotics fields, this book offers lucid coverage of the theory as a whole. Presenting a method for determining the necessary and sufficient conditions for consistency of learning process, the author covers function estimates from small data pools, applying these estimations to real-life problems, and much more.

Apprenticeship learning via inverse reinforcement learning

TL;DR: This work thinks of the expert as trying to maximize a reward function that is expressible as a linear combination of known features, and gives an algorithm for learning the task demonstrated by the expert, based on using "inverse reinforcement learning" to try to recover the unknown reward function.
