Uniform laws of large numbers play a key role in statistics and learning theory. In this talk, we describe martingale analogues of the uniform laws and introduce new notions of ``sequential complexities’’. Extending the symmetrization technique to sequences of dependent random variables leads us to a notion of a tree. We then introduce a definition of a tree covering number, extend the chaining analysis, introduce an analogue of the VC dimension, and prove a counterpart to the classical combinatorial result of Vapnik-Chervonenkis-Sauer-Shelah. Our definitions and results can be seen as non-i.i.d. extensions of some of the key notions in empirical process theory.
