On the Rademacher Complexity of Weighted Automata
Weighted automata (WFAs) provide a general framework for the representation of functions mapping strings to real numbers. They include as special instances deterministic finite au...

Learning with Deep Cascades
Abstract. We introduce a broad learning model formed by cascades of predictors, Deep Cascades, that is structured as general decision trees in which leaf predictors or node questio...

Subsampling in Smoothed Range Spaces
We consider smoothed versions of geometric range spaces, so an element of the ground set (e.g. a point) can be contained in a range with a non-binary value in [0, 1]. Similar noti...

Two Problems for Sophistication
Kolmogorov complexity measures the amount of information in data, but does not distinguish structure from noise. Kolmogorov’s definition of the structure function was the firs...

Exact Learning of Multivalued Dependencies
The transformation of a relational database schema into fourth normal form, which minimizes data redundancy, relies on the correct identification of multivalued dependencies. In t...

Information Preserving Dimensionality Reduction
Dimensionality reduction is a very common preprocessing approach in many machine learning tasks. The goal is to design data representations that on one hand reduce the dimension of...

Online Linear Optimization for Job Scheduling Under Precedence Constraints
We consider an online job scheduling problem on a single machine with precedence constraints under uncertainty. In this problem, for each trial t = 1, . . . , T, the player chooses...

Multi-task and Lifelong Learning of Kernels
We consider a problem of learning kernels for use in SVM classification in the multi-task and lifelong scenarios and provide generalization bounds on the error of a large margin c...
