A Relational Framework for Classifier Engineering
Summary: Formal relational framework modeling feature engineering as database queries to enable DB-centric analysis of classifier expressivity and learnability. Defines separability, VC-dimension of query-defined feature classes, and identifiability; analyzes complexity for conjunctive-query features under common syntactic restrictions.
