Log-concavity property of the error probability with application to local bounds for wireless communications

Andrea Conti, Dmitry Panchenko, Sergiy Sidenko +1

A clear understanding the behavior of the error probability (EP) as a function of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and other system parameters is fundamental for assessing the design of…

Bounding the generalization error of convex combinations of classifiers: balancing the dimensionality and the margins

Vladimir Koltchinskii, Dmitry Panchenko, Fernando Lozano

A problem of bounding the generalization error of a classifier f in H, where H is a "base" class of functions (classifiers), is considered. This problem frequently occurs in comput…

Empirical margin distributions and bounding the generalization error of combined classifiers

Vladimir Koltchinskii, Dmitry Panchenko

We prove new probabilistic upper bounds on generalization error of complex classifiers that are combinations of simple classifiers. Such combinations could be implemented by neural…

Some Local Measures of Complexity of Convex Hulls and Generalization Bounds

Olivier Bousquet, Vladimir Koltchinskii, Dmitry Panchenko

We investigate measures of complexity of function classes based on continuity moduli of Gaussian and Rademacher processes. For Gaussian processes, we obtain bounds on the continuit…

Rademacher processes and bounding the risk of function learning

Vladimir Koltchinskii, Dmitry Panchenko

We construct data dependent bounds on the risk in function learning problems. The bounds are based on the local norms of the Rademacher process indexed by the underlying function c…

Complexities of convex combinations and bounding the generalization error in classification

Vladimir Koltchinskii, Dmitry Panchenko

We introduce and study several measures of complexity of functions from the convex hull of a given base class. These complexity measures take into account the sparsity of the weigh…
