When Does Greedy Learning of Relevant Features Succeed? --- A Fourier-based Characterization ---
Detecting the relevant attributes of an unknown target concept is an important and well studied problem in algorithmic learning. Simple greedy strategies have been proposed that s...

Cryptographic Hardness Results for Learning Intersections of Halfspaces
We give the first representation-independent hardness results for PAC learning intersections of halfspaces, a central concept class in computational learning theory. Our hardness ...

An Unconditional Study of Computational Zero Knowledge
We prove a number of general theorems about ZK, the class of problems possessing (computational) zero knowledge proofs. Our results are unconditional, in contrast to most previous...
