Title: Characterizations of Learnability for Classes of f0; ng-valued Functions Abstract: We study layered belief networks of binary random variables in which the conditional probabilities Pr[childjparents] depend monotonically on weighted sums of the parents. For these networks, we give efficient algorithms for comp...

Title: Efficient Feature Selection in Conceptual Clustering Abstract: Feature selection has proven to be a valuable technique in supervised learning for improving predictive accuracy while reducing the number of attributes considered in a task. We investigate the potential for similar benefits in an unsupervised lear...

Title: An Upper Bound on the Loss from Approximate Optimal-Value Functions Abstract: Many reinforcement learning (RL) approaches can be formulated from the theory of Markov decision processes and the associated method of dynamic programming (DP). The value of this theoretical understanding, however, is tempered by ma...

Title: Learning Decision Trees from Decision Rules: Abstract: A method and initial results from a comparative study ABSTRACT A standard approach to determining decision trees is to learn them from examples. A disadvantage of this approach is that once a decision tree is learned, it is difficult to modify it to suit d...
