Relative Deviation Learning Bounds and Generalization with Unbounded Loss Functions

22 Oct 2013  ·  Corinna Cortes, Spencer Greenberg, Mehryar Mohri ·

We present an extensive analysis of relative deviation bounds, including detailed proofs of two-sided inequalities and their implications. We also give detailed proofs of two-sided generalization bounds that hold in the general case of unbounded loss functions, under the assumption that a moment of the loss is bounded. These bounds are useful in the analysis of importance weighting and other learning tasks such as unbounded regression.
