Actually, All Learnable Distribution Classes Are Privately Learnable

arXiv:2610. 28878v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We show that every class of distributions that is learnable up to arbitrarily small target error in total variation distance with finitely many samples is also learnable under ($\varepsilon, \delta$)-differential privacy up to arbitrarily small target error with finitely many samples.

Realizable Bayes-Consistency for General Metric Losses

arXiv:2605. 03823v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study strong universal Bayes-consistency in the realizable setting for learning with general metric losses, extending classical characterizations beyond $0$-$1$ classification (Bousquet et al.

Relatively Smart: A New Approach for Instance-Optimal Learning

arXiv:2603. 01346v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We revisit the framework of Smart PAC learning, which seeks supervised learners which compete with semi-supervised learners that are provided full knowledge of the marginal distribution on unlabeled data.
