We show that a polynomial learning algorithm, as defined by \textit{L. G. Valiant} [Commun. ACM 27, 1134-1142 (1984; Zbl 0587.68077)], is obtained whenever there exists a polynomial-time method of producing, for any sequence of observations, a nearly minimum hypothesis that is consistent with these observations.
