Computational learning theory (CoLT) is a subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on understanding the design, analysis, and theoretical underpinnings of machine learning algorithms. It combines elements from computer science, particularly the theory of computation, and statistics to create mathematical models that capture key aspects of learning.
For example, CoLT can be used to analyze the complexity of a particular machine learning algorithm in solving a certain learning problem, or to determine the conditions under which an algorithm is guaranteed to produce a specific level of accuracy. Additionally, CoLT can be applied to various areas of artificial intelligence, such as natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics.
