  • Statistical Learnability of Strategic Linear Classifiers: A Proof Walkthrough

    Statistical Learnability of Strategic Linear Classifiers: A Proof Walkthrough With the help of an intricate geometric construction, we can prove that instance-wise cost functions quickly drive SVC to infinity. In the previous article in this series, we examined the concept of strategic VC dimension (SVC) and its connection to the Fundamental Theorem of Strategic Learning.…
