VC Classes are Adversarially Robustly Learnable, but Only Improperly

Abstract

We study the question of learning an adversarially robust predictor. We show that any hypothesis class H\mathcal{H} with finite VC dimension is robustly PAC learnable with an improper learning rule. The requirement of being improper is necessary as we exhibit examples of hypothesis classes H\mathcal{H} with finite VC dimension that are not robustly PAC learnable with any proper learning rule.
