The Average Sensitivity of an Intersection of Half Spaces

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove new bounds on the average sensitivity of the indicator function of an intersection of kk halfspaces. In particular, we prove the optimal bound of O(nlog⁡(k))O(\sqrt{n\log(k)}). This generalizes a result of Nazarov, who proved the analogous result in the Gaussian case, and improves upon a result of Harsha, Klivans and Meka. Furthermore, our result has implications for the runtime required to learn intersections of halfspaces.
