The VC-dimension, introduced by Vapnik and Chervonenkis in 1968 in the context of learning theory, has in recent years provided a rich source of problems in combinatorial geometry. Given $E\subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d$ or $E\subseteq…
Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension is a fundamental measure of the generalization capacity of learning algorithms. However, apart from a few special cases, it is hard or impossible to calculate analytically. Vapnik et al. [10] proposed a…
Given a domain $X$ and a collection $\mathcal{H}$ of functions $h:X\to \{0,1\}$, the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension of $\mathcal{H}$ measures its complexity in an appropriate sense. In particular, the fundamental theorem of statistical…
We give a new proof of VC bounds where we avoid the use of symmetrization and use a shadow sample of arbitrary size. We also improve on the variance term. This results in better constants, as shown on numerical examples. Moreover our bounds…
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension is a combinatorial parameter that reflects the "complexity" of a set of sets (a.k.a. concept classes). It has been introduced by Vapnik and Chervonenkis in their seminal 1971 paper and has since found many…
In Statistical Learning, the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension is an important combinatorial property of classifiers. To our knowledge, no theoretical results yet exist for the VC dimension of edited nearest-neighbour (1NN) classifiers…
The Natarajan dimension is a fundamental tool for characterizing multi-class PAC learnability, generalizing the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension from binary to multi-class classification problems. This work establishes upper bounds on…
We introduce and study the spherical dimension, a natural topological relaxation of the VC dimension that unifies several results in learning theory where topology plays a key role in the proofs. The spherical dimension is defined by…
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension provides a notion of complexity for systems of sets. If the VC dimension is small, then knowing this can drastically simplify fundamental computational tasks such as classification, range counting, and…
The concept of Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) density is pivotal across various mathematical fields, including discrete geometry, probability theory and model theory. In this paper, we introduce a topological generalization of VC-density. Let $Y$…
In 1984, Valiant [ 7 ] introduced the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) learning framework for boolean function classes. Blumer et al. [ 2] extended this model in 1989 by introducing the VC dimension as a tool to characterize the…
The VC-dimension of a set system is a way to capture its complexity and has been a key parameter studied extensively in machine learning and geometry communities. In this paper, we resolve two longstanding open problems on bounding the…
Borrowing the idea of topological pressure determining measure-theoretical entropy in topological dynamical systems, we establish a variational principle for upper metric mean dimension with potential in terms of upper measure-theoretical…
The VC-dimension of a family of sets is a measure of its combinatorial complexity used in machine learning theory, computational geometry, and even model theory. Computing the VC-dimension of the $k$-fold union of geometric set systems has…
In many applications of relational learning, the available data can be seen as a sample from a larger relational structure (e.g. we may be given a small fragment from some social network). In this paper we are particularly concerned with…
The main purpose of this paper is to prove that the point-line incidence bound due to Vinh (2011) over arbitrary finite fields can be improved in certain ranges by using tools from the VC-dimension theory. As consequences, a number of…
This paper is devoted to a systematic study and characterizations of the fundamental notions of variational and strong variational convexity for lower semicontinuous functions. While these notions have been quite recently introduced by…
Topics concerning metric dimension related invariants in graphs are nowadays intensively studied. This compendium of combinatorial and computational results on this topic is an attempt of surveying those contributions that are of the…
The Shatters relation and the VC dimension have been investigated since the early seventies. These concepts have found numerous applications in statistics, combinatorics, learning theory and computational geometry. Shattering extremal…
We investigate the relations holding among generalized dimensions of invariant measures in dynamical systems and similar quantities defined by the scaling of global averages of powers of return times. Because of a heuristic use of Kac…
