Many semi-supervised learning algorithms only
deal with binary classification. Their extension to the
multi-class problem is usually obtained by repeatedly
solving a set of bina...
We describe a novel family of PAC model algorithms for learning linear threshold functions. The new algorithms work by boosting a simple weak learner and exhibit complexity bounds...
Many important cellular response mechanisms are activated when a peptide binds to an appropriate receptor. In the immune system, the recognition of pathogen peptides begins when th...
