| Abstract | We introduce a new approach for designing computationally efficient and noise tolerant algorithms for learning linear separators. We consider the malicious noise model of Valiant [41, 32] and the adversarial label noise model of Kearns, Schapire, and Sellie [34]. For malicious noise, where the adversary can corrupt an η of fraction both the label part and the feature part, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm for learning linear separators in $R^{d}$ under the uniform distribution with nearly information-theoretically optimal noise tolerance of η = Ω(ε), improving on the $Ω(&epsilon/d^{1/4})$ noise-tolerance of [31] and the $Ω(ε^{2}/log(d/ε)$ of [35]. For the adversarial label noise model, where the distribution over the feature vectors is unchanged, and the overall probability of a noisy label is constrained to be at most η, we give a polynomial-time algorithm for learning linear separators in $R^{d}$ under the uniform distribution that can also handle a noise rate of η = Ω(ε). This improves over the results of [31] which either required runtime super-exponential in 1/ε (ours is polynomial in 1/ε) or tolerated less noise. In the case that the distribution is isotropic log-concave, we present a polynomial-time algorithm for the malicious noise model that tolerates $Ω(ε/log^{2}(1/ε))$ noise, and a polynomial-time algorithm for the adversarial label noise model that also handles $Ω(ε/log^{2}(1/ε))$ noise. Both of these also improve on results from [35]. In particular, in the case of malicious noise, unlike previous results, our noise tolerance has no dependence on the dimension d of the space. Our algorithms are also efficient in the active learning setting, where learning algorithms only receive the classifications of examples when they ask for them. We show that, in this model, our algorithms achieve a label complexity whose dependence on the error parameter ε is polylogarithmic (and thus exponentially better than that of any passive algorithm). This provides the first polynomial time active learning algorithm for learning linear separators in the presence of malicious noise or adversarial label noise. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
