Competitive on‐line statistics

V Vovk - International Statistical Review, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
A radically new approach to statistical modelling, which combines mathematical techniques
of Bayesian statistics with the philosophy of the theory of competitive on‐line algorithms, has …

Optimal stochastic non-smooth non-convex optimization through online-to-non-convex conversion

A Cutkosky, H Mehta… - … Conference on Machine …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
We present new algorithms for optimizing non-smooth, non-convex stochastic objectives
based on a novel analysis technique. This improves the current best-known complexity for …

Online learning algorithms

N Cesa-Bianchi, F Orabona - Annual review of statistics and its …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Online learning is a framework for the design and analysis of algorithms that build predictive
models by processing data one at the time. Besides being computationally efficient, online …

A generalized representer theorem

B Schölkopf, R Herbrich, AJ Smola - International conference on …, 2001 - Springer
Wahba's classical representer theorem states that the solutions of certain risk minimization
problems involving an empirical risk term and a quadratic regularizer can be written as …

Relative loss bounds for on-line density estimation with the exponential family of distributions

KS Azoury, MK Warmuth - Machine learning, 2001 - Springer
We consider on-line density estimation with a parameterized density from the exponential
family. The on-line algorithm receives one example at a time and maintains a parameter that …

Adaptive and self-confident on-line learning algorithms

P Auer, N Cesa-Bianchi, C Gentile - Journal of Computer and System …, 2002 - Elsevier
We study on-line learning in the linear regression framework. Most of the performance
bounds for on-line algorithms in this framework assume a constant learning rate. To achieve …

[PDF][PDF] The robustness of the p-norm algorithms

C Gentile, N Littlestone - Proceedings of the twelfth annual conference …, 1999 - dl.acm.org
We consider two on-line learning frameworks: binary classification through linear threshold
functions and linear regression. We study a family of on-line algorithms, called p-norm …

[PDF][PDF] Tracking the best linear predictor

M Herbster, MK Warmuth - Journal of Machine Learning Research, 2001 - Citeseer
In most on-line learning research the total on-line loss of the algorithm is compared to the
total loss of the best off-line predictor u from a comparison class of predictors. We call such …

[PDF][PDF] Learning concept drift with a committee of decision trees

KO Stanley - Informe técnico: UT-AI-TR-03-302, Department of …, 2003 - Citeseer
Abstract Concept drift occurs when a target concept changes over time. I present a new
method for learning shifting target concepts during concept drift. The method, called Concept …

[PDF][PDF] Boosting as entropy projection

J Kivinen, MK Warmuth - Proceedings of the twelfth annual conference …, 1999 - dl.acm.org
We consider the AdaBoost procedure for boosting weak learners. In AdaBoost, a key step is
choosing a new distribution on the training examples based on the old distribution and the …
