Abstract

We consider the problem of learning visual concepts in the mistake-bound and the PAC models. We develop an approach that is shown to be useful also for the problem of learning DNF formulae in these models. As a result, we extend the class of learnable DNF (and CNF) formulae. The classes shown to be learnable are not limited in the number of terms or in the number of variables per term, and they contain the classes of k-DNF and k-term-DNF (and the corresponding classes of CNF) as special cases. We discuss some of the limitations of this approach and a number of applications.
