The relationship between (Un)fractured problems and division of input space

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Problems can be categorized as fractured or unfractured ones. A different set of characteristics are needed for learning algorithms to solve each of these two types of problems. However, the exact characteristics needed to solve each type are unclear. This article shows that the division of the input space is one of these characteristics. In other words, a study is presented showing that while fractured problems benefit from a finer division of the input space, unfractured problems benefit from a coarser division of input space. Many open questions still remains. And the article discusses two conjectures which can be used to solve fractured problems more easily.
