A new paper introduces the "method of gaps," a technique for deriving exact, closed-form expressions for the generalization error of supervised learning algorithms. This method utilizes information measures and characterizes variations in expected empirical risk. The approach distinguishes between algorithm-driven gaps, which involve a measure on datasets, and data-driven gaps, which use a measure on models. The paper demonstrates that these gaps can be expressed in terms of relative entropies, revealing connections between generalization, hypothesis testing, and information theory. AI
