Other Identification Criteria
Learning theorists have investigated other learning criteria, such as the following.
- Efficiency: minimizing the number of data points required before convergence to a correct hypothesis.
- Mind Changes: minimizing the number of hypothesis changes that occur before convergence.
Mind change bounds are closely related to mistake bounds that are studied in statistical learning theory. Kevin Kelly has suggested that minimizing mind changes is closely related to choosing maximally simple hypotheses in the sense of Occam’s Razor.

Famous quotes containing the word criteria:
“We should have learnt by now that laws and court decisions can only point the way. They can establish criteria of right and wrong. And they can provide a basis for rooting out the evils of bigotry and racism. But they cannot wipe away centuries of oppression and injustice—however much we might desire it.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
