Abstract
Most machine learning models assume either (a) that the data fed to a learning algorithm is sampled at random from some (unknown) distribution or (b) that a learning algorithm has to be successful even for the worst possible data presentation (no matter how unlikely it is). However, in many application scenarios, e.g., when a human interacts with a learning machine, in fact "helpful" data is selected and presented to the learning machine by a "teacher".
