On PAC Learning Using Winnow, Perceptron, and a Perceptron-like Algorithm
In this paper we analyze the PAC learning abilities of several simple iterative algorithms for learning linear threshold functions, obtaining both positive and negative results. W...

Halfspace Matrices
A halfspace matrix is a Boolean matrix A with rows indexed by linear threshold functions f, columns indexed by inputs x ∈ {−1,1}n, and the entries given by Af,x = f(x). We dem...

Improved Approximation of Linear Threshold Functions
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...
