In many practical distributed source coding (DSC) applications, correlation information has to be estimated at the encoder in order to determine the encoding rate. Coding efficien...
We consider the supervised learning of a binary classifier from noisy observations. We use smooth boosting to linearly combine abstaining hypotheses, each of which maps a subcube...
