We provide a worst-case analysis of selective sampling algorithms for learning linear threshold functions. The algorithms considered in this paper are Perceptron-like algorithms, ...
A selective sampling algorithm is a learning algorithm for classification that, based on the past observed data, decides whether to ask the label of each new instance to be classi...
The purpose of this paper is to learn the order of criteria of lexicographic decision under various reasonable assumptions. We give a sample evaluation and an oracle based algorit...
Negative selection algorithms are immune-inspired classifiers that are trained on negative examples only. Classification is performed by generating detectors that match none of ...
We describe a new boosting algorithm which generates only smooth distributions which do not assign too much weight to any single example. We show that this new boosting algorithm ...
