We study the predictability of geometric concepts, in particular those de ned by boolean combinations of simple geometric objects. First, we give a negative result, showing that the problem of predicting the class of convex polytopes encoded by listing their vertices is prediction complete for P . Thus, an e cient solution to this prediction problem implies the existence of e cient solutions to...
