arXiv:2603.07221v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Margin-based learning, exemplified by linear and kernel methods, is one of the few classical settings where generalization guarantees are independent of the number of parameters. This makes it a central case study in modern highly over-parameterized learning. We ask what minimal mathematical structure underlies this phenomenon. We begin with a simple margin-based problem in arbitrary metric spaces: concepts are defined by a center point and classify points according to whether their distance lies below $r$ or above $R$. We show that whenever
This paper represents a refinement in the theoretical understanding of generalization in AI, a critical and ongoing area of research as AI systems become more complex and widespread.
A deeper theoretical understanding of margin-based learning could lead to more robust, efficient, and reliable AI systems, especially in scenarios with highly over-parameterized models.
The theoretical frameworks for guaranteeing AI generalization are being strengthened and broadened beyond traditional linear and kernel methods.
