  This paper explores a PAC (probably approximately correct) learning model in
cooperative games. Specifically, we are given $m$ random samples of coalitions
and their values, taken from some unknown cooperative game; can we predict the
values of unseen coalitions? We study the PAC learnability of several
well-known classes of cooperative games, such as network flow games, threshold
task games, and induced subgraph games. We also establish a novel connection
between PAC learnability and core stability: for games that are efficiently
learnable, it is possible to find payoff divisions that are likely to be stable
using a polynomial number of samples.
