Prediction-Hardness of Acyclic Conjunctive Queries - Hirata (2000)   (Correct)

....can receive a fact as a ground clause, Kietz [22, 23] implicitly has shown that acyclic conjunctive queries consisting of literals with at most 8 j ary predicate symbols (j # 2) are not pac learnable unless RP = PSPACE, without databases as background knowledge. Under the same setting, Cohen [8] has strengthened this result not to be predictable under the cryptographic assumptions. First, we obtain the following theorem. Note that the following proof is motivated by Cohen (Theorem 5 in [6] and Theorem 9 in [7] Theorem 5 For each j # 3, ACQ[j B] is not predictable from a simple ....

On the Hardness of Learning Acyclic Conjunctive Queries - Hirata (2000)   (Correct)

....can receive an example as a ground clause, Kietz [20, 21] implicitly has shown that acyclic conjunctive queries consisting of literals with at most j ary predicate symbols (j # 2) are not pac learnable unless RP = PSPACE, without databases as background knowledge. Under the same setting, Cohen [8] has strengthened this result that they are not polynomially predictable under the cryptographic assumptions. On the other hand, by using Cohen s result (Theorem 3 in [6] we can claim that, for each j # 3, the recursive version of ACQ[j B] is not polynomially predictable from an extended ....

Learning from Ambiguity - Maron (1998)   (17 citations)  (Correct)

....true positive in each bag. As would be expected, local maxima present a major di#culty for the algorithm. A classic Machine Learning problem is learning a Deterministic Finite State Automata (DFA) from a series of strings which are labeled according to whether they are accepted by the DFA or not. Cohen, 1996 ] examines the dual of this problem: given a sequence of DFAs, each labeled positive or negative, find a string that is accepted by positive examples and not by negative ones. This is an ambiguous learning problem because a labeled example (DFA) represents a variety of di#erent strings. ....
