Bounded-depth circuits cannot sample good codes
We study a variant of the classical circuit-lower-bound problems: proving lower bounds for sampling distributions given random bits. We prove a lower bound of 1 - 1/n(1) on the st...

Optimally Learning Social Networks with Activations and Suppressions
In this paper we consider the problem of learning hidden independent cascade social networks using exact value injection queries. These queries involve activating and suppressing a...

Recursive Teaching Dimension, Learning Complexity, and Maximum Classes
This paper is concerned with the combinatorial structure of concept classes that can be learned from a small number of examples. We show that the recently introduced notion of recu...

Inferring Finite Automata with Stochastic Output Functions and an Application to Map Learning
It is often useful for a robot to construct a spatial representation of its environment from experiments and observations, in other words, to learn a map of its environment by exp...

A structured multiarmed bandit problem and the greedy policy
—We consider a multiarmed bandit problem where the expected reward of each arm is a linear function of an unknown scalar with a prior distribution. The objective is to choose a s...
