Question 1

What does ε represent in PAC learning?

  • A measure of confidence
  • The desired error bound
  • The sample size

💡 Hint: Think of what you want to limit in the predictions.

Question 2

In PAC learning, δ signifies what?

  • True - it represents the coefficient of variation
  • False - it represents the desired error

💡 Hint: Consider what δ indicates in terms of certainty.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose a machine learning model achieves a 0.05 error rate with a probability of 0.95 on 100 samples. If another model learns a more complex function requiring 300 samples, calculate the expected error rate and confidence level based on PAC learning principles.

💡 Hint: Focus on how increased samples could lead to better performance but assess complexity.

Question 2

If a learning algorithm performs well with ε = 0.01 and δ = 0.01 after 200 samples, what conclusions can be drawn about its performance? Discuss the implications for increasing sample sizes and the corresponding ε.

💡 Hint: Consider how increasing the sample affects the error margin.
