Statistical Consistency
A convergence criterion in machine learning requiring that a model's estimate converge to the true probability distribution as the amount of data increases; it is a core property of statistical learning theory.

Statistical consistency has long been regarded as the gold standard for convergence in machine learning.
A new paper proposes a stricter definition of learning: true learning requires not only that the estimates converge to the true probability, but also that the machine can derive this convergence within the formal system.
The truth condition means that the machine's estimates converge to the true probability, which is exactly the standard definition of statistical consistency.
