摘要: This paper considers the Valiant framework as it is applied to task of learning logical concepts from random examples. It argued that current interpretation this model departs common sense and practical experience in a number ways: does not allow sample dependent bounds, uses worst case rather than an average analysis, accommodate preferences about hypotheses. claimed result, can produce overlyconservative estimates confidence fail induction process often implemented. A Bayesian approach developed, based on notion disagreement between consistent seems overcome indicated problems.
