description

This paper was inspired by [FBW 94]. An arbitrary upper bound on the size of some program for the target function suffices for the learning of some program for this function. In [FBW 94] it was discovered that if “learning” is understood as “identification in the limit,” then in some programming languages it is possible to learn a program of size not exceeding the bound, while in some other programming languages this is not possible.
