New metric quantifies sample complexity for delayed and censored labels

Researchers have introduced the Delay Complexity Dimension (DCD) to quantify the number of samples required for PAC learning with delayed and censored labels. The DCD integrates the VC dimension with the label-information rate of the observation channel, establishing a lower bound for sample complexity. An oracle pseudo-label ERM algorithm achieves this rate, with experiments on synthetic data and Criteo conversion logs supporting the theoretical predictions. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new theoretical framework for understanding data requirements in machine learning under specific label conditions.

    Delay Complexity Dimension: Learning with Delayed and Censored Labels

    arXiv:2610.18935v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study PAC learning of binary classifiers when labels arrive after random delays and are censored beyond an observation window $W$. How many samples does this observation model require? We propose a distribution-dependent answer…
