A Complexity Measure for Active Learning in Multi-group Mean Estimation

arXiv:2606. 14690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a \emph{max-risk} objective for active learning in a multi-group mean estimation $d$-armed bandits: a learner adaptively allocates a budget of $T$ samples across $d$ groups to minimize the worst-case uncertainty index $\max_{k\in[d]}\sigma_k^2/n_k$, where $\sigma_k$ is the standard deviation of the distribution of arm $d$, and $n_k$ is the number of times arm $d$ is sampled.

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.
