Abstract

Hanneke, Moran, and Waknine HannekeMoranWaknine2024 asked how the agnostic PAC learning curve of the direct sum Cr depends on the single-instance learning curve (n C) and on r. We show that the single-instance learning rate does not determine the direct-sum rate. Let be the class of the two constant binary functions and let consist of the zero function and the identity function. Both classes have agnostic learning curve of order n-1/2.
