VC Classes are Adversarially Robustly Learnable, but Only Improperly
Montasser, Omar, Hanneke, Steve, Srebro, Nathan
We study the question of learning an adversarially robust predictor. We show that any hypothesis class $\mathcal{H}$ with finite VC dimension is robustly PAC learnable with an improper learning rule. The requirement of being improper is necessary as we exhibit examples of hypothesis classes $\mathcal{H}$ with finite VC dimension that are not robustly PAC learnable with any proper learning rule.
