Build a Generalization-Bound Tutorial for an MLE Onboarding Track
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You will produce a Jupyter-notebook tutorial covering (1) sample-complexity intuition, (2) VC-dimension with worked examples for halfspaces and decision stumps, (3) Rademacher complexity with a small empirical simulation, (4) PAC-bound application to a real toy classifier. Each section has plain-English intuition, a tight derivation, a runnable simulation, and 2-3 self-check exercises with worked solutions. Deliver the notebook plus a 1-page facilitator guide.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Produce a self-paced statistical-learning-theory tutorial that builds working intuition for VC, Rademacher, and PAC bounds in 6 hours.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Build working intuition for VC dimension and Rademacher complexity
- Derive a PAC-style generalization bound from first principles
- Apply theory to a concrete toy classifier
