Hypothesis Set Stability and Generalization

Neural Information Processing Systems

We present a study of generalization for data-dependent hypothesis sets. We give a general learning guarantee for data-dependent hypothesis sets based on a notion of transductive Rademacher complexity. Our main result is a generalization bound for data-dependent hypothesis sets expressed in terms of a notion of hypothesis set stability and a notion of Rademacher complexity for data-dependent hypothesis sets that we introduce. This bound admits as special cases both standard Rademacher complexity bounds and algorithm-dependent uniform stability bounds. We also illustrate the use of these learning bounds in the analysis of several scenarios.

Reviews: Hypothesis Set Stability and Generalization

Neural Information Processing Systems

A risk bound for data-dependent hypothesis classes is presented in terms of a notion of stability of the hypothesis class and a newly proposed extension of the Rademacher complexity to data-dependent classes. The paper is clearly written and the results are interesting and mathematically sound. The unification of the complexity-based and stability-based analysis for learning with data-dependent hypothesis seems a significant contribution. Their main theoretical result (Theorem 2) applies to a large range of learning algorithms and is thus relevant to a large body of machine learning work. A nice analysis is presented for bagging, stochastic strongly convex optimisation, and distillation.
