PAC Learning, VC Dimension, and the Arithmetic Hierarchy

Wesley Calvert

We compute that the index set of PAC-learnable concept classes is $m$-complete $Σ^0_3$ within the set of indices for all concept classes of a reasonable form. All concept classes considered are computable enumerations of computable $Π^0_1$ classes, in a sense made precise here. This family of concept classes is sufficient to cover all standard examples, and also has the property that PAC learnability is equivalent to finite VC dimension.
