Probably Approximately Correct - Valiant Leslie G.
From a leading computer scientist, a unifying theory that will revolutionize our understanding of how life evolves and learns.How does life prosper in a complex and erratic world? We nevertheless muddle through even in the absence of theories of how to act. While we know that nature follows patterns--such as the law of gravity--our everyday lives are beyond what known science can predict.
The key is "probably approximately correct" algorithms, a concept Valiant developed to explain how effective behavior can be learned. But how do we do it?In Probably Approximately Correct, computer scientist Leslie Valiant presents a masterful synthesis of learning and evolution to show how both individually and collectively we not only survive, but prosper in a world as complex as our own. The model shows that pragmatically coping with a problem can provide a satisfactory
