A combinatorial conjecture from PAC-Bayesian machine learning

Machine Learning 2020-06-08 v2 Machine Learning Combinatorics

Abstract

We present a proof of a combinatorial conjecture from the second author's Ph.D. thesis. The proof relies on binomial and multinomial sums identities. We also discuss the relevance of the conjecture in the context of PAC-Bayesian machine learning.
