Statistical Learning

Statistical learning theory understands learning as a function estimation problem on empirical data. The goal are generalizing modells which are able to make predictions for new and unseen data points. Conditions on those generalizations are analyzed, e.g. a finite VC-dimension. This finally leads to risk bounds for classification algoithms. A major idea coming from statistical learning theory is the idea of structural risk minimization. This idea motivates new classification algorithms like Support Vector Machines / Relevance Vector Machines which provide better risk bounds.
