An Empirical Study of Evolution of Inheritance in Java OSS
Previous studies of Object-Oriented (OO) software have reported avoidance of the inheritance mechanism and cast doubt on the wisdom of ‘deep’ inheritance levels. From an evolu...

The Complexity of Learning Concept Classes with Polynomial General Dimension
The general dimension is a combinatorial measure that characterizes the number of queries needed to learn a concept class. We use this notion to show that any p-evaluatable concep...
