One of the main research concern in neural networks is to find the appropriate network size in order to minimize the trade-off between overfitting and poor approximation. In this ...
In the context of binary classification, we define disagreement as a measure of how often two independently-trained models differ in their classification of unlabeled data. We exp...
In this paper, the task of selecting the optimal subset of pronunciation variants from a set of automatically generated candidates is recast as a tree search problem. In this appr...
Background: There has been recent concern regarding the inability of predictive modeling approaches to generalize to new data. Some of the problems can be attributed to improper m...
We develop improved risk bounds for function estimation with models such as single hidden layer neural nets, using a penalized least squares criterion to select the size of the mod...
