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...

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...

Uniform Characterizations of Polynomial-Query Learnabilities
We consider the exact learning in the query model. We deal with all types of queries introduced by Angluin: membership, equivalence, superset, subset, disjointness and exhaustivene...

Learning Monotone DNF from a Teacher That Almost Does Not Answer Membership Queries
We present results concerning the learning of Monotone DNF (MDNF) from Incomplete Membership Queries and Equivalence Queries. Our main result is a new algorithm that allows effici...
