Review for NeurIPS paper: Estimating decision tree learnability with polylogarithmic sample complexity
–Neural Information Processing Systems
The submission got four reviews that were quite polarised in their recommendations, with two against accepting and two strongly in favour. The disagreement did not concern the technical quality of the paper. The reviewers agree that the theoretical work in this paper has been very competently performed and in the context of the problem the authors consider, the results are interesting and advance the state of the art. The disagreement is over whether the results are significant enough for NeurIPS or would be more appropriate for a specialised theory conference. The main objections against accepting are (i) the results are not surprising, (ii) the assumptions (monotonicity and uniform distribution) are strong and (iii) the overall computational complexity is high.
