Abstract: Most learning algorithms work most effectively when their training data contain completely specified labeled samples. In many diagnostic tasks, however, the data will include the values of only some of the attributes; we model this as a blocking process that hides the values of those attributes from the learner. While blockers that remove the values of critical attributes can handicap a learner, this paper instead focuses on blockers that remove only irrelevant attribute values, i.e., values... (Update)

...those systems, however, assume that the values of all variables, both relevant and irrelevant, are given. The Greiner et al. [GGK97] model is similar, but here the learner sees only the values of the relevant variables. To connect this to our model, note that an active...
