An Adaptive Version of the Boost by Majority Algorithm
We propose a new boosting algorithm. This boosting algorithm is an adaptive version of the boost by majority algorithm and combines bounded goals of the boost by majority algorith...

Uniform-Distribution Attribute Noise Learnability
We study the problem of PAC-learning Boolean functions with random attribute noise under the uniform distribution. We define a noisy distance measure for function classes and sho...

Beating the Hold-Out: Bounds for K-fold and Progressive Cross-Validation
The empirical error on a test set, the hold-out estimate, often is a more reliable estimate of generalization error than the observed error on the training set, the training estim...

Learning Threshold Functions with Small Weights Using Membership Queries
We study the learnability of Threshold functions with bounded weights using membership queries only. We show that the class Ct of Threshold functions with positive integer weights...
