contents We study fitting problems, sometimes called ``training problems'', where we have a finite sample consisting of inputs and outputs, and we want to know whether there is a function in a certain class that could produce these outputs, exactly or approximately, on the given inputs. We focus on the computational and descriptive complexity of fitting for logically-defined classes in common decidable structures, like the real ordered field and Presburger arithmetic, and also for broader classes defined via combinatorial or model-theoretic properties. We isolate the complexity of these fitting problems, with particular attention to cases where we can use queries in a natural query language over the sample to determine whether a sample is fittable.
