Bounding the Vapnik-Chervonenkis Dimension of Concept Classes Parameterized by Real Numbers
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (V-C) dimension is an important combinatorial tool in the analysis of learning problems in the PAC framework. For polynomial learnability, we seek upper bou...

Learning Decision Lists over Tree Patterns and Its Application
This paper introduces a new concept, a decision tree (or list) over tree patterns, which is a natural extension of a decision tree (or decision list), for dealing with tree struct...

A PAC-Style Model for Learning from Labeled and Unlabeled Data
Abstract. There has been growing interest in practice in using unlabeled data together with labeled data in machine learning, and a number of different approaches have been develo...

A Complete Characterization of Statistical Query Learning with Applications to Evolvability
Statistical query (SQ) learning model of Kearns is a natural restriction of the PAC learning model in which a learning algorithm is allowed to obtain estimates of statistical prop...

Weakly learning DNF and characterizing statistical query learning using Fourier analysis
We present new results on the well-studied problem of learning DNF expressions. We prove that an algorithm due to Kushilevitz and Mansour [13] can be used to weakly learn DNF form...
