We give a review of various aspects of boosting, clarifying the issues through a few simple results, and relate our work and that of others to the minimax paradigm of statistics. ...
An account of lower and upper integration is given. It is constructive in the sense of geometric logic. If the integrand takes its values in the nonnegative lower reals, then its ...
A key trend in (electronic) commerce is a demand for higher levels of expressiveness in the mechanisms that mediate interactions. We develop a theory that ties the expressiveness ...
Boolean functions on the space Fm 2 are not only important in the theory of error-correcting codes, but also in cryptography. In these two cases, the nonlinearity of these functio...
A class of graphs is nowhere dense if for every integer r there is a finite upper bound on the size of cliques that occur as (topological) r-minors. We observe that this tameness ...
