A variational approach to learning curves

 Dörthe Malzahn and Manfred Opper
  
 

Abstract:

We combine the replica approach from statistical physics with a variational approach to analyze learning curves analytically. We apply the method to Gaussian process regression. As a main result we deriveap-proximative relations between empirical error measures, the generalization error and the posterior variance.
