Hardness of approximate two-level logic minimization and PAC learning with membership queries
Producing a small DNF expression consistent with given data is a classical problem in computer science that occurs in a number of forms and has numerous applications. We consider ...

Hardness of Minimizing and Learning DNF Expressions
We study the problem of finding the minimum size DNF formula for a function f : {0, 1}d → {0, 1} given its truth table. We show that unless NP ⊆ DTIME(npoly(log n) ), there i...

A general dimension for query learning
We introduce a combinatorial dimension that characterizes the number of queries needed to exactly (or approximately) learn concept classes in various models. Our general dimension...

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...
