Realizability Assumption: Why is that for every ERM hypothesis $L_{S}(h_{S})=0$

I'm quoting Understanding Machine Learning: From Theory to Algorithms, Cambridge University Press, 2014: Definition 2.1 (The Realizability Assumption). There exists $h^{\star} \in \mathcal{H}$ s.t. $...

Why any set of m data points with different features can be perfectly fit by a polynomial of degree n as long as n ≥ m

On p.36 in "Machine Learning: The Basics", Alexander Jung, Spinger, the author wrote: The fundamental theorem of algebra tells us that any set of m data points with different features can ...

Is there any practical application of knowing whether a concept class is PAC-learnable?

A concept class $C$ is PAC-learnable if there exists an algorithm that can output a hypothesis with probability at least $(1-\delta)$ (the "probably" part), and an error that is less than $\epsilon$ (...

How does size of the dataset depend on VC dimension of the hypothesis class?

This might be a little broad question, but I have been watching Caltech youtube videos on Machine Learning, and in this video prof. is trying to explain how we should interpret the VC dimension in ...

How do I prove that $\mathcal{H}$, with $\mathcal{VC}$ dimension $d$, shatters all subsets with size less than $d-1$?

If a certain hypothesis class $\mathcal{H}$ has a $\mathcal{VC}$ dimension $d$ over a domain $X$, how can I prove that $H$ will shatter all subsets of $X$ with size less than $d$, i.e. $\mathcal{H}$ ...

What is the difference between hypothesis space and representational capacity?

I am reading Goodfellow et al Deeplearning Book. I found it difficult to understand the difference between the definition of the hypothesis space and representation capacity of a model. In Chapter 5,...
