Suppose that the only available information in a multi-class problem are expert estimates of the conditional probabilities of occurrence for a set of binary features. The aim is t...

We introduce a polynomial-time algorithm to learn Bayesian networks whose structure is restricted to nodes with in-degree at most k and to edges consistent with the optimal branch...
We introduce a new algorithm for binary classification in the selective sampling protocol. Our algorithm uses Regularized Least Squares (RLS) as base classifier, and for this reas...
We give a review of various aspects of boosting, clarifying the issues through a few simple results, and relate our work and that of others to the minimax paradigm of statistics. ...
