Abstract

En 中文
We consider the approximation or recovery of functions based on a finite number of function evaluations. This is a well-studied problem in optimal recovery; machine learning and numerical analysis in general; but many fundamental insights were obtained only recently. We discuss different aspects of the information-theoretic limit that appears because of the limited data available; as well as algorithms and sampling strategies that come as close to it as possible.We also discuss (optimal) sampling in a broader sense; allowing other types of measurements that may be nonlinear; adaptive and random; and present several relations between the different settings in the spirit of information-based complexity. We hope that this article will provide both a basic introduction to the subject and a contemporary summary of the current state of research.
