Abstract: In many domains, an appropriate inductive bias is the MIN-FEATURES bias, which prefers consistent hypotheses definable over as few features as possible. This paper defines and studies this bias in Boolean domains. First, it is shown that any learning algorithm implementing the MIN-FEATURES bias requires \Theta( 1 ffl ln 1 ffi + 1 ffl [2 p + p ln n]) training examples to guarantee PAC-learning a concept having p relevant features out of n available features. This bound is only... (Update)
