Abstract
A comprehensive look at learning and generalization theory. The statistical theory of learning and generalization concerns the problem of choosing desired functions on the basis of empirical data. Highly applicable to a variety of computer science and robotics fields, this book offers lucid coverage of the theory as a whole. Presenting a method for determining the necessary and sufficient conditions for consistency of learning process, the author covers function estimates from small data pools, applying these estimations to real-life problems, and much more.

Gene Selection for Cancer Classification using Support Vector Machines

TL;DR: In this article, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) method based on recursive feature elimination (RFE) was proposed to select a small subset of genes from broad patterns of gene expression data, recorded on DNA micro-arrays.

A comparison of methods for multiclass support vector machines

TL;DR: Decomposition implementations for two "all-together" multiclass SVM methods are given and it is shown that for large problems methods by considering all data at once in general need fewer support vectors.
