On the fixed-parameter tractability of the equivalence test of monotone normal forms
We consider the problem Monet—given two monotone formulas ϕ in DNF and ψ in CNF, decide whether they are equivalent. While Monet is probably not coNPhard, it is a long standin...

Lower Bounds and Hardness Amplification for Learning Shallow Monotone Formulas
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...

Learning from Partial Observations
We present a general machine learning framework for modelling the phenomenon of missing information in data. We propose a masking process model to capture the stochastic nature of...

Complexity of DNF and Isomorphism of Monotone Formulas
We investigate the complexity of finding prime implicants and minimal equivalent DNFs for Boolean formulas, and of testing equivalence and isomorphism of monotone formulas. For DN...
