Improved Boosting Algorithms using Confidence-Rated Predictions
Abstract. We describe several improvements to Freund and Schapire's AdaBoost boosting algorithm, particularly in a setting in which hypotheses may assign confidences to each o...

Learning One-Variable Pattern Languages in Linear Average Time
A new algorithm for learning one-variable pattern languages is proposed and analyzed with respect to its average-case behavior. We consider the total learning time that takes into...

Large Margin Classification Using the Perceptron Algorithm
We introduce and analyze a new algorithm for linear classification which combines Rosenblatt's perceptron algorithm with Helmbold and Warmuth's leave-one-out method. Like...

Self Bounding Learning Algorithms
Most of the work which attempts to give bounds on the generalization error of the hypothesis generated by a learning algorithm is based on methods from the theory of uniform conve...

Cross-Validation for Binary Classification by Real-Valued Functions: Theoretical Analysis
This paper concerns the use of real-valued functions for binary classification problems. Previous work in this area has concentrated on using as an error estimate the `resubstitut...
