Machine learning theory

Example of the union bound:

X is a continuous random variable, thus
P(X = 3) = 0
P(X = n) = 0
and we do not have to worry about boundaries.

P(A1) = P[0 <= X <= 2] = 1/(2^2)
P(A2) = P[1 <= X <= 3] = 1/(2^3)
P(A3) = P[2 <= X <= 4] = 1/(2^4)

by the union bound:
P(union Ai) <= 1/(2^2) + 1/(2^3) + 1/(2^4) +...

The union bound and its significance in learning:

PAC learning:

Here's a case where increased complexity does not reduce precision (if the link doesn't work, copy it into a browser with Google Colab).

Explanation of curse of high dimensions:

Here we revisit the curse of high dimensionality (code sample).

We go over a simple example that demonstrates the curse of high dimensions (if the link doesn't work, copy it into a browser with Google Colab).

VC dimension of polynomial

We discuss the VC dimension of polynomials.
