Time-Space Hardness of Learning Sparse Parities

We define a concept class F to be time-space hard (or memory-samples hard) if any learning algorithm for F requires either a memory of size super-linear in n or a number of samples super-polynomial in n, where n is the length of one sample. A recent work shows that the class of all parity functions is time-space hard [Raz, FOCS’16]. Bui...More
