We study Rademacher processes where the coefficients are functions evaluated at fixed, but arbitrary covariables. Specifically, we assume the function class under consideration to be parametrized by the standard cocube in l dimensions and…

Offset Rademacher complexities have been shown to provide tight upper bounds for the square loss in a broad class of problems including improper statistical learning and online learning. We show that the offset complexity can be generalized…

We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…

In this paper, we correct an upper bound, presented in~\cite{hs-11}, on the generalisation error of classifiers learned through multiple kernel learning. The bound in~\cite{hs-11} uses Rademacher complexity and has an\emph{additive}…

A method is provided for computing an upper bound of the complexity of a module over a local ring, in terms of vanishing of certain cohomology modules. We then specialize to complete intersections, which are precisely the rings over which…
