On the Role of Update Constraints and Text-Types in Iterative Learning

摘要

The present work investigates the relationship of iterative learning with other learning criteria such as decisiveness, caution, reliability, non-U-shapedness, monotonicity, strong monotonicity and conservativeness. Building on the result of Case and Moelius that iterative learners can be made non-U-shaped, we show that they also can be made cautious and decisive. Furthermore, we obtain various special results with respect to one-one texts, fat texts and one-one hypothesis spaces.
