Symmetry
Summary

The podcast discusses the concept of symmetry and the degree to which it can be applied in decision rule-making. The question of whether symmetry is part of a hierarchical set of concepts or independent predicates is also explored.

Strong Convergence
Summary

In classification tasks, strong convergence refers to selecting a subset of functions that satisfy a specific property or criterion based on training data. This subset is chosen by averaging the property of the training data and considering only functions of conditional probability that maintain this property.

The concept of admissible sets of functions is explained by taking the inner products of a function with another function and selecting a set of functions that is admissible with a specific predicate.

Summary

The concept of admissible sets of functions is explained by taking the inner products of a function with another function and selecting a set of functions that is admissible with a specific predicate. The idea of convergence is explored by looking at the square difference between two functions.
