We present a unified framework for reasoning about worst-case regret bounds for learning algorithms. This framework is based on the theory of duality of convex functions. It brin...
The kernel Perceptron is an appealing online learning algorithm that has a drawback: whenever it makes an error it must increase its support set, which slows training and testing ...
Abstract. We show several PAC-style concentration bounds for learning unigrams language model. One interesting quantity is the probability of all words appearing exactly k times in...
Jensen's inequality is a powerful mathematical tool and one of the workhorses in statistical learning. Its applications therein include the EM algorithm, Bayesian estimation ...
We study a class of algorithms that speed up the training process of support vector machines (SVMs) by returning an approximate SVM. We focus on algorithms that reduce the size of...
