A Uniform Lower Error Bound for Half-Space Learning
Abstract. We give a lower bound for the error of any unitarily invariant algorithm learning half-spaces against the uniform or related distributions on the unit sphere. The bound i...

Clustering with Interactive Feedback
In this paper, we initiate a theoretical study of the problem of clustering data under interactive feedback. We introduce a query-based model in which users can provide feedback to...

Smooth Boosting for Margin-Based Ranking
We propose a new boosting algorithm for bipartite ranking problems. Our boosting algorithm, called SoftRankBoost, is a modification of RankBoost which maintains only smooth distri...

Exploiting Cluster-Structure to Predict the Labeling of a Graph
Abstract. The nearest neighbor and the perceptron algorithms are intuitively motivated by the aims to exploit the “cluster” and “linear separation” structure of the data to...

Learning with Continuous Experts Using Drifting Games
We consider the problem of learning to predict as well as the best in a group of experts making continuous predictions. We assume the learning algorithm has prior knowledge of the ...
