Question 1: Short answer

mediumAI-checkedLearning Theory

Inputs are vectors x∈{−1,1}dx \in \{-1, 1\}^d with uniformly random coordinates, and labels y∈{−1,1}y \in \{-1, 1\}. For each coordinate kk there is a model that predicts either xkx_k or −xk-x_k, whichever fits the training set better. On n=10n = 10 training examples, what is the probability that the model for a coordinate that is irrelevant to the label (independent of yy) has zero training error?

a probability; a fraction such as 3/7 is fine
