The Role of Critical Sets in Vapnik-Chervonenkis Theory
In the present paper, we present the theoretical basis, as well as an empirical validation, of a protocol designed to obtain effective VC dimension estimations in the case of a si...

Leveraging for Regression
In this paper we examine master regression algorithms that leverage base regressors by iteratively calling them on modified samples. The most successful leveraging algorithm for c...

PAC Analogues of Perceptron and Winnow via Boosting the Margin
We describe a novel family of PAC model algorithms for learning linear threshold functions. The new algorithms work by boosting a simple weak learner and exhibit complexity bounds...

On the Convergence Rate of Good-Turing Estimators
Good-Turing adjustments of word frequencies are an important tool in natural language modeling. In particular, for any sample of words, there is a set of words not occuring in tha...
