Classification learning has been dominated by the induction of axisorthogonal decision surfaces. While induction of alternate forms of decision surface has received some attentio...
We present an algorithm to solve XPath decision problems under regular tree type constraints and show its use to statically typecheck XPath queries. To this end, we prove the deci...
We describe a quantum black-box network computing the majority of N bits with zerosided error using only 2 3 N + O( N log( -1 log N)) queries: the algorithm returns the correct an...

We consider the problem of designing a near-optimal linear decision tree to classify two given point sets B and W in n. A linear decision tree de nes a polyhedral subdivision of sp...

We address the extension of the binary search technique from sorted arrays and totally ordered sets to trees and tree-like partially ordered sets. As in the sorted array case, the...
