Seeking Separation
Recall earlier discussion: The most specific hypothesis S is the tightest rectangle enclosing the positive examples.
prone to false negatives
The most general hypothesis G is the largest rectangle enclosing the positive examples but containing no negative examples.
prone to false positives
Perhaps we should choose something in between?
