— We prove the following strong hardness result for learning: Given a distribution on labeled examples from the hypercube such that there exists a monomial (or conjunction) consi...
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose that t...

Abstract— The optimal model parameters of a kernel machine are typically given by the solution of a convex optimisation problem with a single global optimum. Obtaining the best p...
