Current formulations implicitly assume that the relative cost of misclassifying a positive or negative example is reflected by the class skew in the training dataset. We present a learning approach based on minimizing an asymmetric generalization bound that enables PAC-Bayesian model selection under a class-specific performance constraint.}, publisher = {IEEE}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/pac-bayesian-learning-with-asymmetric-cost/}, pages = {765-768}, }
