Stability Conditions for Online Learnability [article]

Stephane Ross, J. Andrew Bagnell
2011 arXiv   pre-print
We introduce online stability, a stability condition related to uniform-leave-one-out stability in the batch setting, that is sufficient for online learnability.  ...  We provide examples that suggest the existence of an algorithm with such stability condition might in fact be necessary for online learnability.  ...  While we haven't been able to provide necessary conditions for online learnability in the general learning setting, we have shown that all problems with a sub-exponential covering are all online learnable  ...

On the Equivalence between Online and Private Learnability beyond Binary Classification [article]

Young Hun Jung, Baekjin Kim, Ambuj Tewari
2021 arXiv   pre-print
While the equivalence for regression remains open, we provide non-trivial sufficient conditions for an online learnable class to also be privately learnable.  ...  First, we show that private learnability implies online learnability in both settings.  ...  Instead, we provide sufficient conditions for private learnability in regression problems. Theorem 15 (Sufficient conditions for private regression learnability).  ...

Learning From An Optimization Viewpoint [article]

Karthik Sridharan
2012 arXiv   pre-print
To fill this void we use stability of learning algorithms to fully characterize statistical learnability in the general setting. Next we consider the problem of online learning.  ...  We further use these tools to fully characterize learnability for online supervised learning problems. II.  ...  That means finding some condition which is both necessary and sufficient for learnability.  ...

MODEL THEORY AND MACHINE LEARNING

HUNTER CHASE, JAMES FREITAG
2019 Bulletin of Symbolic Logic  
In this article, we point out a new and similar connection between model theory and machine learning, this time developing a correspondence between stability and learnability in various settings of online  ...  In particular, this gives many new examples of mathematically interesting classes which are learnable in the online setting.  ...  The correspondence between online learnability and stability is similar to the correspondence between PAC-learnability and NIP, but it should be mentioned that the fields (online learning and stability  ...

An Equivalence Between Private Classification and Online Prediction [article]

Mark Bun and Roi Livni and Shay Moran
2021 arXiv   pre-print
Together these two results yield an equivalence between online learnability and private PAC learnability.  ...  We introduce a new notion of algorithmic stability called "global stability" which is essential to our proof and may be of independent interest.  ...  We also thank Yuval Dagan for providing useful comments and for insightful conversations.  ...
