       Learning to adapt in classification
 
       Bernadetta Tarigan, Seminar für Statistik, ETH Zürich

We learn the binary classification problem with hinge loss. We consider
classifiers that are linear combinations of base functions and we put an
l-1 penalty on the coefficients. Under certain conditions on the base
functions, hinge loss with this complexity penalty is shown to adapt to
both the unknown complexity and margin parameters.
