{"publist_id":"6261","month":"04","day":"01","abstract":[{"text":"In this work we study the learnability of stochastic processes with respect to the conditional risk, i.e. the existence of a learning algorithm that improves its next-step performance with the amount of observed data. We introduce a notion of pairwise discrepancy between conditional distributions at different times steps and show how certain properties of these discrepancies can be used to construct a successful learning algorithm. Our main results are two theorems that establish criteria for learnability for many classes of stochastic processes, including all special cases studied previously in the literature.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"id":"37099E9C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Zimin","full_name":"Zimin, Alexander","first_name":"Alexander"},{"id":"40C20FD2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-8622-7887","last_name":"Lampert","first_name":"Christoph","full_name":"Lampert, Christoph"}],"project":[{"call_identifier":"FP7","grant_number":"308036","name":"Lifelong Learning of Visual Scene Understanding","_id":"2532554C-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"alternative_title":["PMLR"],"date_updated":"2025-04-15T07:10:22Z","ec_funded":1,"date_published":"2017-04-01T00:00:00Z","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"http://proceedings.mlr.press/v54/zimin17a/zimin17a.pdf"}],"department":[{"_id":"ChLa"}],"intvolume":"        54","quality_controlled":"1","status":"public","oa":1,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","publisher":"ML Research Press","page":"213 - 222","title":"Learning theory for conditional risk minimization","oa_version":"Submitted Version","volume":54,"citation":{"chicago":"Zimin, Alexander, and Christoph Lampert. “Learning Theory for Conditional Risk Minimization,” 54:213–22.
