  • Abstract
    The authors prove by means of a counterexample that it is not sufficient, for probably approximately correct (PAC) learning under a class of distributions, to have a uniform bound on the metric entropy of the class of concepts to be learned. This settles a conjecture of Benedek and Itai (1991)
