Agnostic Learning of Monomials by Halfspaces Is Hard
— 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...

Lower Bounds for Agnostic Learning via Approximate Rank
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...

Agnostic Learning versus Prior Knowledge in the Design of Kernel Machines
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...
