PAC formula: n ≥ (1/ε)(ln|H| + ln(1/δ)) With n samples, you are (1-δ) confident the learned hypothesis has error ≤ ε.
Insight: Larger |H| needs exponentially more samples. Tighter ε requires 1/ε times more data. The three curves show how confidence level δ shifts the required n.
PAC Learning - Interactive Visualization
PAC (Probably Approximately Correct) learning answers: how many training examples do we need for a model to generalize? The sample complexity n ≥ (1/ε)(ln|H| + ln(1/δ)) grows with accuracy requirement (1/ε), confidence (1/δ), and hypothesis class size (|H|). This visualization shows how sample complexity curves change with these parameters.
See sample complexity n as a function of accuracy ε
Adjust hypothesis class size |H| to see impact on sample needs
Compare curves for different confidence levels δ
Understand the fundamental theorem of learning: finite VC dim → PAC learnable
