Cryptographic Hardness Results for Learning Intersections of Halfspaces
We give the first representation-independent hardness results for PAC learning intersections of halfspaces, a central concept class in computational learning theory. Our hardness ...

The Learnability of Quantum States
Traditional quantum state tomography requires a number of measurements that grows exponentially with the number of qubits n. But using ideas from computational learning theory, we...

On-line Algorithms in Machine Learning
The areas of On-Line Algorithms and Machine Learning are both concerned with problems of making decisions about the present based only on knowledge of the past. Although these area...

(Agnostic) PAC Learning Concepts in Higher-Order Logic
This paper studies the PAC and agnostic PAC learnability of some standard function classes in the learning in higher-order logic setting introduced by Lloyd et al. In particular, i...

Inductive Inference, DFAs, and Computational Complexity
This paper surveys recent results concerning the inference of deterministic finite automata (DFAs). The results discussed determine the extent to which DFAs can be feasibly inferr...

Agnostic Boosting
We prove strong noise-tolerance properties of a potential-based boosting algorithm, similar to MadaBoost (Domingo and Watanabe, 2000) and SmoothBoost (Servedio, 2003). Our analysi...

Preference Elicitation and Query Learning
Abstract. In this paper we initiate an exploration of relationships between “preference elicitation”, a learning-style problem that arises in combinatorial auctions, and the pr...

A Tale of Two Classifiers: SNoW vs. SVM in Visual Recognition
Numerous statistical learning methods have been developed for visual recognition tasks. Few attempts, however, have been made to address theoretical issues, and in particular, stud...
