Unconditional lower bounds for learning intersections of halfspaces
We prove new lower bounds for learning intersections of halfspaces, one of the most important concept classes in computational learning theory. Our main result is that any statist...

A Uniform Lower Error Bound for Half-Space Learning
Abstract. We give a lower bound for the error of any unitarily invariant algorithm learning half-spaces against the uniform or related distributions on the unit sphere. The bound i...

Lower Bounds for the Complexity of Learning Half-Spaces with Membership Queries
Exact learning of half-spaces over finite subsets of IRn from membership queries is considered. We describe the minimum set of labelled examples separating the target concept from ...

New degree bounds for polynomial threshold functions
A real multivariate polynomial p(x1, . . . , xn) is said to sign-represent a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n {-1, 1} if the sign of p(x) equals f(x) for all inputs x {0, 1}n. We gi...

Nearly optimal solutions for the chow parameters problem and low-weight approximation of halfspaces
The Chow parameters of a Boolean function f : {−1, 1}n → {−1, 1} are its n + 1 degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. It has been known since 1961 [Cho61, Tan61] that ...
