Common Sense Based Joint Training of Human Activity Recognizers
Given sensors to detect object use, commonsense priors of object usage in activities can reduce the need for labeled data in learning activity models. It is often useful, however,...

On the Complexity of Linear Prediction: Risk Bounds, Margin Bounds, and Regularization
This work characterizes the generalization ability of algorithms whose predictions are linear in the input vector. To this end, we provide sharp bounds for Rademacher and Gaussian...

Covariance Estimation for High Dimensional Data Vectors Using the Sparse Matrix Transform
Covariance estimation for high dimensional vectors is a classically difficult problem in statistical analysis and machine learning. In this paper, we propose a maximum likelihood ...

When a Decision Tree Learner Has Plenty of Time
The majority of the existing algorithms for learning decision trees are greedy--a tree is induced top-down, making locally optimal decisions at each node. In most cases, however, ...
