Learning bounded subsets of $L_p$

We study learning problems in which the underlying class is a bounded subset of $L_p$ and the target $Y$ belongs to $L_p$. Previously, minimax sample complexity estimates were known under such boundedness assumptions only when $p=\infty$. We present a sharp sample complexity estimate that holds for any $p > 4$. It is based on a learning procedure that is suited for heavy-tailed problems.
