Abstract

We study compressible types in the context of (local and global) NIP. By extending a result in machine learning theory (the existence of a bound on the recursive teaching dimension), we prove density of compressible types. Using this, we obtain explicit uniform honest definitions for NIP formulas (answering a question of Eshel and the second author), and build compressible models in countable NIP theories.
