Is there any difference between most specific hypotheses obtained by Candidate Elimination and Find-S methods?

Question

In terms of machine learning. Is there any difference between most specific hypotheses obtained by Candidate Elimination and Find-S methods?

Many Thanks

Answer 1

Yes.

If there are several maximally specific hypotheses that fit a data set, Find-S will just return one of them, where as C-E will return all of them as part of the specific boundary of the version space.

If there is only 1 maximally specific hypothesis though, there is no difference.

Hope this helps!
