Difference between paradigm and Algorithm in Machine Learning

Give a class $\mathcal{H}$ of predictors from the set X to $\{0,1\}$. Here each $h \in \mathcal{H}$ is a function from $h: X \longrightarrow \{0,1\}$. The Empirical Risk Minimization is defined as $$E …

Fastest algorithm for approximate hamming distance

Consider two binary strings of two alphabets of length $l$, to find the hamming distance each corresponding bit needs to be compared. The runtime will be $O(l)$ or simply $l$ many comparisons are req …

Fizz Buzz and pseudo-polynomial time

The runtime of $0/1$ knapsack problem using dynamic programming is $O(nW)$. Now assume that $W = 2^n$, then the runtime of the above algorithm is $O(n2^n)$, which is not a polynomial runtime in $n$. …
