Version Spaces
- We will try to output a description of the set of
all hypothesis consistent with the set of training
examples.
- A hypothesis $h$ is consistent with a set of
training examples $D$ of target concept $c$ if and only if
$h(x)=c(x)$ for each training example $\langle x, c(x) \rangle$ in $D$.
\[Consistent(h,D) \equiv \forall_{\langle x, c(x) \rangle
\in D} h(x)=c(x) \]
- Notice how an example $x$ satisfies $h$ when
$h(x)=1$, while it is consistent with $h$ if
$h(x)=c(x)$.
- The version space, denoted $VS_{H,D}$ with
respect to $H$ and $D$, is the subset of hypothesis from $H$
consistent with the training examples in D.
\[VS_{H,D} \equiv \{h \in H\,|\, Consistent(h,D)\}\]
