Sample Complexity for Learning Recurrent Perceptron Mappings

Recurrent perceptron classifiers generalize the classical perceptron model. They take into account those correlations and dependences among input coordinates which arise from linear digital filtering. This paper provides tight bounds on sample complexity associated to the fitting of such models to experimental data. 1 Introduction One of the most popular approaches to binary pattern classification, underlying many statistical techniques, is based on perceptrons or linear discriminants; see for instance the classical reference (Duda and Hart, 1973).
