Abstract

Abstract: We prove a general lower bound on the complexity of unbounded error probabilistic communication protocols. This result improves on a lower bound for bounded error protocols from Krause. As a simple consequence we get the, to our knowledge, first linear lower bound on the complexity of unbounded error probabilistic communication protocols for the functions defined by Hadamard matrices. We also give an upper bound on the margin of any embedding of a concept class in half spaces.
