Suboptimal Behavior of Bayes and MDL in Classification Under Misspecification
We show that forms of Bayesian and MDL inference that are often applied to classification problems can be inconsistent. This means that there exists a learning problem such that fo...

An Inequality for Nearly Log-Concave Distributions with Applications to Learning
Abstract— We prove that given a nearly log-concave distribution, in any partition of the space to two well separated sets, the measure of the points that do not belong to these s...

Learning Classes of Probabilistic Automata
Abstract. Probabilistic finite automata (PFA) model stochastic languages, i.e. probability distributions over strings. Inferring PFA from stochastic data is an open field of rese...

Regularization and Semi-supervised Learning on Large Graphs
We consider the problem of labeling a partially labeled graph. This setting may arise in a number of situations from survey sampling to information retrieval to pattern recognition...

Regret Bounds for Hierarchical Classification with Linear-Threshold Functions
We study the problem of classifying data in a given taxonomy when classifications associated with multiple and/or partial paths are allowed. We introduce an incremental algorithm u...
