Learning from a Population of Hypotheses
We introduce a new formal model in which a learning algorithm must combine a collection of potentially poor but statistically independent hypothesis functions in order to approxima...

Learning Binary Relations Using Weighted Majority Voting
In this paper we demonstrate how weighted majority voting with multiplicative weight updating can be applied to obtain robust algorithms for learning binary relations. We first pre...

Bounding the Vapnik-Chervonenkis Dimension of Concept Classes Parameterized by Real Numbers
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (V-C) dimension is an important combinatorial tool in the analysis of learning problems in the PAC framework. For polynomial learnability, we seek upper bou...

Parameterized Learning Complexity
We describe three applications in computational learning theory of techniques and ideas recently introduced in the study of parameterized computational complexity. (1) Using param...

Lower Bounds on the Vapnik-Chervonenkis Dimension of Multi-Layer Threshold Networks
We consider the problem of learning in multilayer feed-forward networks of linear threshold units. We show that the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension of the class of functions that ca...

Piecemeal Learning of an Unknown Environment
We introducea new learningproblem: learninga graph by piecemeal search, in which the learner must return every so often to its starting point (for refueling, say). We present two l...
