TLDR
This work considers a variant of the membership query model in which the learning algorithm is given as input the number of relevant variables of the target function, and shows that in this model, any projection and embedding closed class of functions that can be learned in polynomial time can be learning attribute-efficiently in poynomial time.

Measuring the impact of data mining on churn management

TL;DR: A customer relationship management framework based on the integration of the electronic channel is presented, able to prefigure the possible impact induced by the ongoing data mining enhancements on churn management and on the decision‐making process.

Learning conditional preference networks

TL;DR: This model shows that acyclic CP-nets are not learnable with equivalence queries alone, even if the examples are restricted to swaps for which dominance testing takes linear time, and reveals that active queries are required for efficiently learningCP-nets in large multi-attribute domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Projection Learning

TL;DR: A method of combining learning algorithms is described that preserves attribute-efficiency and yields learning algorithms that require a number of examples that is polynomial in the number of relevant variables and logarithmic in the total number of variables.

Finding Essential Attributes from Binary Data

TL;DR: This paper proposes several measures of separation (real valued set functions over the subsets of attributes), formulate optimization models for finding the smallest subsets maximizing these measures, and devise efficient heuristic algorithms to solve these (typically NP-hard) optimization problems.

Computational sample complexity and attribute-efficient learning

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even for simple concept classes, an inherent tradeoff can exist between running time and sample complexity, and the first result which shows that attribute-efficient learning can be computationally hard is shown.

Parity, circuits and the polynomial time hierarchy

TL;DR: A super-polynomial lower bound is given for the size of circuits of fixed depth computing the parity function and connections are given to the theory of programmable logic arrays and to the relativization of the polynomial-time hierarchy.
