Generalization Bounds for Set-to-Set Matching with Negative Sampling

Abstract

The problem of matching two sets of multiple elements, namely set-to-set matching, has received a great deal of attention in recent years. In particular, it has been reported that good experimental results can be obtained by preparing a neural network as a matching function, especially in complex cases where, for example, each element of the set is an image. However, theoretical analysis of set-to-set matching with such black-box functions is lacking. This paper aims to perform a generalization error analysis in set-to-set matching to reveal the behavior of the model in that task.
