User-friendly introduction to PAC-Bayes bounds

P Alquier - Foundations and Trends® in Machine Learning, 2024 - nowpublishers.com
Aggregated predictors are obtained by making a set of basic predictors vote according to
some weights, that is, to some probability distribution. Randomized predictors are obtained …

A primer on PAC-Bayesian learning

B Guedj - arXiv preprint arXiv:1901.05353, 2019 - arxiv.org
Generalised Bayesian learning algorithms are increasingly popular in machine learning,
