  • The analogy theorem in Hoare logic

    The analogy theorem in Hoare logic arXiv:2510.03685v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The introduction of machine learning methods has led to significant advances in automation, optimization, and discoveries in various fields of science and technology. However, their widespread application faces a fundamental limitation: the transfer of models between data domains generally lacks a rigorous mathematical justification.…

  • Higher-arity PAC learning, VC dimension and packing lemma

    Higher-arity PAC learning, VC dimension and packing lemma arXiv:2510.02420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The aim of this note is to overview some of our work in Chernikov, Towsner’20 (arXiv:2010.00726) developing higher arity VC theory (VC$_n$ dimension), including a generalization of Haussler packing lemma, and an associated tame (slice-wise) hypergraph regularity lemma; and to demonstrate that…

  • Sample completion, structured correlation, and Netflix problems

    Sample completion, structured correlation, and Netflix problems arXiv:2509.20404v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop a new high-dimensional statistical learning model which can take advantage of structured correlation in data even in the presence of randomness. We completely characterize learnability in this model in terms of VCN${}_{k,k}$-dimension (essentially $k$-dependence from Shelah’s classification theory). This model suggests…
