And even such a familiar concept as the one of mass is not observable, in the sense that it cannot be in all cases, i...

متن کاملOn Learning versus Refutation
Building on the work of Daniely et al. (STOC 2014, COLT 2016), we study the connection between computationally efficient PAC learning and refutation of constraint satisfaction problems. Specifically, we prove that for every concept class P, PAC-learning P is polynomially equivalent to “random-right-hand-side-refuting” (“RRHS-refuting”) a dual class P∗, where RRHS-refutation of a class Q refers ...
