Sample compression schemes for balls in graphs
share
One of the open problems in machine learning is whether any set-family of VC-dimension d admits a sample compression scheme of size O(d). In this paper, we study this problem for balls in graphs. For balls of arbitrary radius r, we design proper sample compression schemes of size 2 for trees, of size 3 for cycles, of size 4 for interval graphs, of size 6 for trees of cycles, and of size 22 for cube-free median graphs. For balls of a given radius, we design proper labeled sample compression schemes of size 2 for trees and of size 4 for interval graphs. We also design approximate sample compression schemes of size 2 for balls of δ-hyperbolic graphs.
