Explaining AdaBoostk and inaccurate rules. The AdaBoost algorithm of Freund and Schapire was the first practical boosting algorithm, and remains one of the most widely used and studied, with applications in numerous fields. This chapter aims to review some of the many perspectives and analyses of AdaBoost that have be

On Learnability, Complexity and Stabilitying and in the general learningGeneral learning setting introduced by Vladimir Vapnik. We survey classic results characterizing learnability in terms of suitable notions of complexity, as well as more recent results that establish the connection between learnability and stability of a learning algor

Statistical Learning Theory in Practice We review some of the most well-known methods and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. Particular emphasis is put on methods that scale well at training and testing time so that they can be used in real-life systems; we discuss their application on large-scale image and text classification t

Semi-supervised Learning in Causal and Anticausal Settingsa given problem, and rule out others. We formulate the hypothesis that semi-supervised learning can help in an anti-causal setting, but not in a causal setting, and corroborate it with empirical results.

The Median Hypothesis question: what is the best hypothesis to select from a given hypothesis class? To address this question we adopt a PAC-Bayesian approach. According to this viewpoint, the observations and prior knowledge are combined to form a belief probability over the hypothesis class. Therefore, we focus on the
