We present a framework for margin based active learning of linear separators. We instantiate it for a few important cases, some of which have been previously considered in the literature. We analyze the effectiveness of our framework both in the realizable case and in a specific noisy setting related to the Tsybakov small noise condition.

The wings in different insect species are morphologically distinct with regards to their size, outer contour (margin) shape, venation, and pigmentation. The basis of the diversity of wing margin shapes remains unknown, despite the fact that gene networks governing the Drosophila wing development have been well characterised. Among the different types of wing margin shapes, smoothly curved conto...

We propose a new framework to construct the margin-based classifiers, in which the binary and multicategory classification problems are solved by the same principle; namely, margin-based classification via regularized empirical risk minimization. To build the framework, we propose the margin vector which is the multi-class generalization of the margin, then we further generalize the concept of ...

In his fiction, Takahashi Gen’ichirō often portrays crises of contemporary life where characters do not identify with shared ideologies or communities, instead resorting to repetitive actions survive in their empty daily existences. This article argues that a central factor for such is shattering perceptions orders time, predicated on problematics linked the lingering postwar Japanese context, ...

Records from two connected proglacial threshold lakes at Paakitsoq, west Greenland have been analyzed in order to investigate the response of a land-based ice sheet margin to Holocene climate change. The results are used to test whether or not the land terminating margin at Paakitsoq behaved synchronously with the nearby marine terminating Jakobshavn Isbræ during the Holocene. The radiocarbon d...

Abstract In this paper, first, the stability margin and stabilizability margin of multidimensional (nD) systems are considered. In particular, the concept of stabilizability margin is introduced for the first time and it is defined to be the largest stability margin that a closed-loop feedback system can reach by menas of any stabilizing compensator. The investigation of stabilizability margin ...
