A new research paper by Larsen, Pabbaraju, and Shetty explores the theoretical limits of learning algorithms when presented with data from a monotone adversary. The study reveals that the lack of data exchangeability, introduced by the adversary's added examples, inherently increases the learning error by a logarithmic factor for certain classes of data. This finding challenges the assumption that additional correctly labeled data always simplifies the learning process, demonstrating that it can, in fact, make learning harder. AI
