Geometric Bounds for Generalization in Boosting
We consider geometric conditions on a labeled data set which guarantee that boosting algorithms work well when linear classifiers are used as weak learners. We start by providing ...

Model Selection and Error Estimation
We study model selection strategies based on penalized empirical loss minimization. We point out a tight relationship between error estimation and data-based complexity penalizatio...

Boosting as Entropy Projection
We consider the AdaBoost procedure for boosting weak learners. In AdaBoost, a key step is choosing a new distribution on the training examples based on the old distribution and th...

Improved Boosting Algorithms using Confidence-Rated Predictions
Abstract. We describe several improvements to Freund and Schapire's AdaBoost boosting algorithm, particularly in a setting in which hypotheses may assign confidences to each o...

Estimation of Time-Varying Parameters in Statistical Models: An Optimization Approach
Abstract. We propose a convex optimization approach to solving the nonparametric regression estimation problem when the underlying regression function is Lipschitz continuous. This...
