We study the properties of the Minimum Description Length principle for sequence prediction, considering a two-part MDL estimator which is chosen from a countable class of models....
We consider the problem of learning Bayesian network models in a non-informative setting, where the only available information is a set of observational data, and no background kn...
A study of generalization error in signal detection by multiple spatially-distributed and -correlated sensors is provided when the detection rule is learned from a finite number ...
We consider boosting algorithms that maintain a distribution over a set of examples. At each iteration a weak hypothesis is received and the distribution is updated. We motivate t...
