On learning a function of perceptrons AbstractThis paper concerns the generalization accuracy when training a classifier that is a fixed Boolean function of the outputs of a number of perceptrons. The analysis involves the `margins' achieved by the constituent perceptrons on the training data. A special case is that in which the fixed Boolean function is the majority function (where we have a `committee of perceptrons'). Recent work of Auer et al. studied the computational properties of such networks (where they were called `parallel perceptrons'), proposed an incremental learning algorithm for them. The The results given here provide further motivation for the use of this learning rule.
