Small Sample Inference for Generalization Error in Classification Using the CUD Bound
Confidence measures for the generalization error are crucial when small training samples are used to construct classifiers. A common approach is to estimate the generalization err...

Topmoumoute Online Natural Gradient Algorithm
Guided by the goal of obtaining an optimization algorithm that is both fast and yields good generalization, we study the descent direction maximizing the decrease in generalizatio...

A Relationship between Generalization Error and Training Samples in Kernel Regressors
A relationship between generalization error and training samples in kernel regressors is discussed in this paper. The generalization error can be decomposed into two components. On...

Suboptimal Behavior of Bayes and MDL in Classification Under Misspecification
We show that forms of Bayesian and MDL inference that are often applied to classification problems can be inconsistent. This means that there exists a learning problem such that fo...

Comparison of ARTMAP Neural Networks for Classification for Face Recognition from Video
In video-based of face recognition applications, the What-and-Where Fusion Neural Network (WWFNN) has been shown to reduce the generalization error by accumulating a classifier�...

Query by Committee
We propose an algorithm called query by committee, in which a committee of students is trained on the same data set. The next query is chosen according to the principle of maximal...

Regularization by Adding Redundant Features
The Pseudo Fisher Linear Discriminant (PFLD) based on a pseudo-inverse technique shows a peaking behaviour of the generalization error for training sample sizes that are about the...

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...

Can Gaussian Process Regression Be Made Robust Against Model Mismatch?
Learning curves for Gaussian process (GP) regression can be strongly affected by a mismatch between the ‘student’ model and the ‘teacher’ (true data generation process), e...
