Multi-class SVMs: From Tighter Data-Dependent Generalization Bounds to Novel Algorithms Yunwen Lei

Neural Information Processing Systems 

This paper studies the generalization performance of multi-class classification algorithms, for which we obtain--for the first time--a data-dependent generalization error bound with a logarithmic dependence on the class size, substantially improving the state-of-the-art linear dependence in the existing data-dependent generalization analysis.
