Lower Bounds on Learning Random Structures with Statistical Queries
We show that random DNF formulas, random log-depth decision trees and random deterministic finite acceptors cannot be weakly learned with a polynomial number of statistical queries...

A Lower Bound for Learning Distributions Generated by Probabilistic Automata
Known algorithms for learning PDFA can only be shown to run in time polynomial in the so-called distinguishability

On Using Extended Statistical Queries to Avoid Membership Queries
The Kushilevitz-Mansour (KM) algorithm is an algorithm that finds all the “large” Fourier coefficients of a Boolean function. It is the main tool for learning decision trees ...

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...

Efficient Learning Algorithms Yield Circuit Lower Bounds
We describe a new approach for understanding the difficulty of designing efficient learning algorithms. We prove that the existence of an efficient learning algorithm for a circui...
