Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
