VC Dimension, ε-nets and ε-approximation

چکیده
“I’ve never touched the hard stuff, only smoked grass a few times with the boys to be polite, and that’s all, though ten is the age when the big guys come around teaching you all sorts to things. But happiness doesn’t mean much to me, I still think life is better. Happiness is a mean son of a bitch and needs to be put in his place. Him and me aren’t on the same team, and I’m cutting him dead. I’ve never gone in for politics, because somebody always stand to gain by it, but happiness is an even crummier racket, and their ought to be laws to put it out of business.” – Momo, Emile Ajar

Carnival of Samplings: Nets, Approximations, Relative and Sensitive
In this write-up, we are interested in how much information can be extracted by random sampling of a certain size for a range space of VC dimension d. In particular, we show that several standard results about samplings follow from the sampling theorem of Lin et al. [LLS01]. The following assumes that the reader is familiar and comfortable with ε-nets and εapproximations. The results surveyed i...
متن کاملImproved Approximation for Guarding Simple Galleries from the Perimeter
We provide an O(log log OPT)-approximation algorithm for the problem of guarding a simple polygon with guards on the perimeter. We first design a polynomial-time algorithm for building ε-nets of size O ( 1 ε log log 1 ε ) for the instances of Hitting Set associated with our guarding problem. We then apply the technique of Brönnimann and Goodrich to build an approximation algorithm from this ε-n...
متن کاملUniform approximation of Vapnik-Chervonenkis classes
For any family of measurable sets in a probability space, we show that either (i) the family has infinite Vapnik–Chervonenkis (VC) dimension or (ii) for every ε > 0 there is a finite partition π such the essential π -boundary of each set has measure at most ε. Immediate corollaries include the fact that a separable family with finite VC dimension has finite bracketing numbers, and satisfies uni...

متن کاملRelative ε-Approximations in Geometry∗
We re-examine relative ε-approximations, previously studied in [Pol86, Hau92, LLS01, CKMS06], and their relation to certain geometric problems. We give a simple constructive proof of their existence in general range spaces with finite VC-dimension, and of a sharp bound on their size, close to the best known one. We then give a construction of smaller-size relative ε-approximations for range spa...
