Consider the task of learning an unknown concept from a given concept class; to what extent does interacting with a domain expert accelerate the learning process? It turns out the answer is hidden in a better understanding of the infinite two-player games and who has a winning strategy. So, if you like game theory and statistical learning, then this talk is for you.
