Tensorized Rademacher projections outperform Gaussian projections in reducing tensor dimensions.

In many applications (in particular information systems, such as pattern recognition, machine learning, cheminformatics, bioinformatics to name but a few) the assessment of uncertainty is essential - i.e., the estimation of the underlying probability distribution function. More often than not, the form of this function…

We propose Rademacher complexity bounds for multiclass classifiers trained with a two-step semi-supervised model.

The developments of Rademacher complexity and PAC-Bayesian theory have been largely independent.

The goal of this paper is to extend thi…

For a finite function class we describe the large sample limit of the sequential Rademacher complexity in terms of the viscosity solution of a $G$-heat equation.
