ERRATA: Small mistake in description of Exercise 2.1
I won't "mathify" this correction, as I don't know how in this forum (my LaTex has escaped me after years of neglect!). It's a minor point, but I feel like it should be corrected. In the wording for Exercise 2.1 on page 45:
ERROR: "Verify that m_H(n) < 2^k" CORRECTION: "Verify that m_H(k) < 2^k" Thanks! |

Problem 2.9 : Growth function of perceptron, seems incorrect
The problem says that in case of perceptron in d-dimensional space, growth function is equal to B(N,k). Consider the following case :
d = 2, implies dvc = 2+1 = 3 N = 4 B(N,k) = 15 but the maximum no. of dichotomies possible in this case is only 14 Can someone please comment if i am missing something. Thanks. Vishwajeet. |

Re: Problem 2.9 : Growth function of perceptron, seems incorrect
Sorry for the delayed response here, but i still find that
![]() is not the case for a perceptron in d-dimensional space. When N=6 and d=2, this equation says ![]() If i am missing something, then can you please point me to the proof. Thank you. |
Problem 2.10
To prove :
![]() As this is a generic statement, it has to apply to every growth function. But all we know about the growth functions (in general) is their bound, in terms of ![]() ![]() Also, we know that if ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I guess my question is that how can we prove the generic statement above. Kindly shed some light on the proof strategy. Thank you, Vishwajeet. |
