Ranking Categorical Features Using Generalization Properties
Feature ranking is a fundamental machine learning task with various applications, including feature selection and decision tree learning. We describe and analyze a new feature ran...

Beating the Hold-Out: Bounds for K-fold and Progressive Cross-Validation
The empirical error on a test set, the hold-out estimate, often is a more reliable estimate of generalization error than the observed error on the training set, the training estim...

Computable Shell Decomposition Bounds
Haussler, Kearns, Seung and Tishby introduced the notion of a shell decomposition of the union bound as a means of understanding certain empirical phenomena in learning curves suc...

Estimating Generalization Error on Two-Class Datasets Using Out-of-Bag Estimates
For two-class datasets, we provide a method for estimating the generalization error of a bag using out-of-bag estimates. In bagging, each predictor (single hypothesis) is learned ...

Geometric Bounds for Generalization in Boosting
We consider geometric conditions on a labeled data set which guarantee that boosting algorithms work well when linear classifiers are used as weak learners. We start by providing ...
