Hamza Ba-mohammed The VC dimension of a hypothesis class is a measure of the class's complexity. It informs you how many points the class can "shatter," or perfectly categorize. The VC dimension is significant because it indicates how well a learning system can generalize from training data to unknown data.

The "shattering" approach is a popular method for calculating the VC dimension of a hypothesis class. This is how it works:

1. Begin with an empty set of labels and an empty set of points.

2. Consider adding a new point to the collection.

3. See whether there is a method to apply labels to the other points in the set so that the new point is accurately categorized for each potential label for the new point. If so, add the point to the set. If there isn't, quit and return the size of the largest set you could build.

Here's some code to show the shattering method:

def shatter(H, points):

if len(points) == 0:

return True

for p in points:

for label in [0, 1]:

if not any(H.classify(x, label) == y for x, y in points):

return False

return True

def VC_dimension(H, n):

for i in range(1, n+1):

if shatter(H, [(x, y) for x, y in itertools.combinations(range(n), i)]):

return i

return n

The shatter function is defined first, which takes a hypothesis class H and a collection of points as input and returns True if the hypothesis class can shatter the points and False otherwise.

The VC dimension function then iteratively attempts to shatter sets of points of increasing size, beginning with the empty set and ending with a set of size n. The VC dimension function returns I if the shatter function returns True for a set of the size I otherwise, the method returns n.

I see. I just didn't understand what H and classify() stands for in your code. I suppose that classify is 1 hypothesis, but why it takes label as an argument?

@Qamar I recall that H I'm considering is infinite.

Yes, there is an algorithm for finding the VC dimension of a hypothesis class H. The algorithm is called the VC dimension algorithm. It works by first calculating the size of the hypothesis class H, then constructing a set of hypotheses from the set of points in the hypothesis class H, and then calculating the VC dimension of the hypothesis class H by counting the number of points in the set of hypotheses.

No, there is no programmable algorithm for finding the VC dimension of a hypothesis class H. The VC dimension is a theoretical concept and is generally determined through analysis of the hypothesis class H.
