In computational learning theory, the teaching dimension of a concept class C is defined to be, where is the minimum size of a witness set for c in C.
The teaching dimension of a finite concept class can be used to give a lower and an upper bound on the membership query cost of the concept class.
In Stasys Jukna's book "Extremal Combinatorics", a lower bound is given for the teaching dimension:
Let C be a concept class over a finite domain X. If the size of C is greater than
then the teaching dimension of C is greater than k.
Famous quotes containing the words teaching and/or dimension:
“The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. What is the trouble between capital and labor, what is the trouble in many of our communities, but rather a universal forgetting that this teaching is one of our first obligations.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Le Corbusier was the sort of relentlessly rational intellectual that only France loves wholeheartedly, the logician who flies higher and higher in ever-decreasing circles until, with one last, utterly inevitable induction, he disappears up his own fundamental aperture and emerges in the fourth dimension as a needle-thin umber bird.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
