Abstract: We consider the resource bounded measure of polynomial-time learnable subclasses of polynomial-size circuits. We show that if EXP not equal to MA, then every PAC-learnable subclass of P/poly has EXP-measure zero. We introduce a nonuniformly computable variant of resource bounded measure and show that, for every fixed polynomial q, any polynomial-time learnable subclass of circuits of size q has measure zero with respect to P/poly. We relate our results to the question whether Boolean Circuits are polynomial-time learnable.
