Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...
Abstract. Similarity search in large multimedia databases requires efficient query processing based on suitable similarity models. Similarity models consist of a feature extraction...
We consider the Multi-armed bandit problem under the PAC (“probably approximately correct”) model. It was shown by Even-Dar et al. [5] that given n arms, it suffices to play th...
We define a model of learning probabilistic acyclic circuits using value injection queries, in which an arbitrary subset of wires is set to fixed values, and the value on the sing...

The continuous-time query model is a variant of the discrete query model in which queries can be interleaved with known operations (called "driving operations") continuo...
