The paper explores the concept of the Rashomon ratio in infinite families of classifiers, building upon previous work on finite families. The authors show that a large Rashomon ratio ensures that choosing the best-performing classifier among a random subset does not significantly increase the empirical loss. They provide examples and estimates of the Rashomon ratio for normally distributed classes with affine classifiers and modified Gram matrices using two-layer ReLU neural networks.

The paper talks about how to measure the performance of different ways to classify things, like pictures or words. It shows that if you have a lot of different ways to do this, some of them will be really good at making mistakes, so you can pick one that is probably pretty good and not get worse results. They give examples of this idea working for different types of problems.
