Adversarially Robust PAC Learnability of Real-Valued Functions
We study robustness to test-time adversarial attacks in the regression setting with $\ell_p$ losses and arbitrary perturbation sets. We address the question of which function classes are PAC learnable in this setting. We show that classes of finite fat-shattering dimension are learnable in both realizable and agnostic settings. Moreover, for convex function classes, they are even properly learnable. In contrast, some non-convex function classes provably require improper learning algorithms. Our main technique is based on a construction of an adversarially robust sample compression scheme of a size determined by the fat-shattering dimension. Along the way, we introduce a novel agnostic sample compression scheme for real-valued functions, which may be of independent interest.

On the exact learnability of graph parameters: The case of partition functions
We study the exact learnability of real valued graph parameters $f$ which are known to be representable as partition functions which count the number of weighted homomorphisms into a graph $H$ with vertex weights $\alpha…
A learning problem that is independent of the set theory ZFC axioms
We consider the following statistical estimation problem: given a family F of real valued functions over some domain X and an i.i.d. sample drawn from an unknown distribution P over X, find h in F such that the expectati…
General ClassificationPAC learningComplex-valued Neurons Can Learn More but Slower than Real-valued Neurons via Gradient Descent
Complex-valued neural networks potentially possess better representations and performance than real-valued counterparts when dealing with some complicated tasks such as acoustic analysis, radar image classification, etc.…
Online Learning with Set-Valued Feedback
We study a variant of online multiclass classification where the learner predicts a single label but receives a \textit{set of labels} as feedback. In this model, the learner is penalized for not outputting a label conta…
Characterizing the Multiclass Learnability of Forgiving 0-1 Loss Functions
In this paper we will give a characterization of the learnability of forgiving 0-1 loss functions in the multiclass setting with effectively finite cardinality of the output and label space. To do this, we create a new c…
