When a Decision Tree Learner Has Plenty of Time
The majority of the existing algorithms for learning decision trees are greedy--a tree is induced top-down, making locally optimal decisions at each node. In most cases, however, ...

Lookahead-based algorithms for anytime induction of decision trees
The majority of the existing algorithms for learning decision trees are greedy--a tree is induced top-down, making locally optimal decisions at each node. In most cases, however, ...

The Lumberjack Algorithm for Learning Linked Decision Forests
While the decision tree is an effective representation that has been used in many domains, a tree can often encode a concept inefficiently. This happens when the tree has to repres...

Polynomial Time Inference of a Subclass of Context-Free Transformations
This paper deals with a class of Prolog programs, called context-free term transformations (CFT). We present a polynomial time algorithm to identify a subclass of CFT, whose progr...

Lower Bounds on Learning Random Structures with Statistical Queries
We show that random DNF formulas, random log-depth decision trees and random deterministic finite acceptors cannot be weakly learned with a polynomial number of statistical queries...
