Convergence issues in Relational Concept Analysis based on AOC-posets

The paper examines convergence problems in Relational Concept Analysis (RCA) when applied to AOC-posets instead of full concept lattices. It explains why RCA’s iterative process may fail to converge in the AOC-poset setting, identifies conditions that can still guarantee convergence, and proposes a convergent variant that preserves the AOC-poset structure by never removing relational attributes. The study also discusses data transformations that can restore convergence.

The No-Clash Teaching Dimension is Bounded by VC Dimension

arXiv:2603. 23561v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the realm of machine learning theory, to prevent unnatural coding schemes between teacher and learner, No-Clash Teaching Dimension was introduced as provably optimal complexity measure for collusion-free teaching.

Algorithmic Principles For Multiclass Learning Are Hard To Come By: Limits of Regularization and Proper Learning

The paper investigates fundamental limits of algorithmic principles in multiclass learning, specifically proper learning and regularization. It shows that learning cannot always be reduced to proper learning even with an enlarged hypothesis class, that proper learners may need a sublinear number of errors that can be arbitrarily large, and that regularization (SRM or local) is not universally sufficient. The authors also provide a positive theory giving sufficient conditions for SRM learnability and a characterization via integrability of revealed preferences.
