| Research Type | Theoretical | In this paper, we investigate the generalization performance of structured prediction learning and obtain state-of-the-art generalization bounds. Our analysis is based on factor graph decomposition of structured prediction algorithms, and we present novel margin guarantees from three different perspectives: Lipschitz continuity, smoothness, and space capacity condition. The proof of Theorem 1 is provided in Appendix A. We believe our theoretical findings can provide deep insights into the learning guarantees of structured prediction. Additionally, we are also concerned about whether the convergence rate of structured prediction can reach faster order than O(1/n)? We will investigate this problem in future work and design new algorithms based on our theoretical analysis. |
