Description
We develop the idea that the PAC-Bayes prior can be informed by the data-generating distribution. We prove sharp bounds for an existing framework, and develop insights into function class complexity in this model and suggest means of controlling it with new algorithms. In particular we consider controlling capacity with respect to the unknown geometry of the data-generating distribution. We finally extend this localization to more practical learning methods.
