Abstract: We examine the problem of finding a good expert from a sequence of experts. Each expert has an "error rate"; we wish to find an expert with a low error rate. However, each expert's error rate is unknown and can only be estimated by a sequence of experimental trials. Moreover, the distribution of error rates is also unknown. Given a bound on the total number of trials, there is thus a tradeoff between the number of experts examined and the accuracy of estimating their error rates. We present a... (Update)
