New theory tightens bounds on list replicability in PAC learning

Researchers have established a new upper bound for list replicability in the PAC learning framework, significantly improving upon previous results. The study demonstrates that for concept classes with a Littlestone dimension of 'd' and a dual VC dimension of 'v*', list replicability is bounded by $2^{O(d \min\{\log d, v^*\})}$. This new bound is nearly optimal, closely matching the known lower bound of $2^{\Omega(d)}$ and exponentially improving the prior best upper bound of $2^{2^{O(d)}}$. The findings are derived from a novel inductive framework and leverage tools from differentially private learning and stable regularity. AI

    Near-Optimal List Replicability from Littlestone Dimension

    arXiv:2610.32853v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the list replicability number in the realizable PAC learning framework and prove that every concept class $H$ over a countable domain with Littlestone dimension $d$ and dual VC dimension $v^*$ satisfies \[ \mathrm{LR}(H)\le…
