We study generalized bootstrapped confidence regions for the mean of a random vector whose coordinates have an unknown dependence structure, with a non-asymptotic control of the co...
Gold’s original paper on inductive inference introduced a notion of an optimal learner. Intuitively, a learner identifies a class of objects optimally iff there is no other lea...
Abstract. In supervised learning, discretization of the continuous explanatory attributes enhances the accuracy of decision tree induction algorithms and naive Bayes classifier. M...
Most theoretical models of inductive inference make the idealized assumption that the data available to a learner is from a single and accurate source. The subject of inaccuracies ...
It is well known that prior knowledge or bias can speed up learning, at least in theory. It has proved di cult to make constructive use of prior knowledge, so that approximately c...
