Evaluation of DNF Formulas [PDF]
Stochastic Boolean Function Evaluation (SBFE) is the problem of determining the value of a given Boolean function $f$ on an unknown input $x$, when each bit of $x_i$ of $x$ can only be determined by paying a given associated cost $c_i$. Further, $x$ is drawn from a given product distribution: for each $x_i$, $Prob[x_i=1] = p_i$, and the bits are ...

We introduce backdoor DNFs, as a tool to measure the theoretical hardness of CNF formulas. Like backdoor sets and backdoor trees, backdoor DNFs are defined relative to a tractable class of CNF formulas. Each conjunctive term of a backdoor DNF defines a partial assignment that moves the input CNF formula into the base class.

A classifier is considered interpretable if each of its decisions has an explanation which is small enough to be easily understood by a human user. A DNF can be seen as a binary classifier kappa over boolean domains. The size of an explanation of a positive decision taken by a DNF kappa is bounded by the size of the terms in kappa, since we can explain

DNF sparsification beyond sunflowers [PDF]
There are two natural complexity measures associated with DNFs: their size, which is the number of clauses; and their width, which is the maximal number of variables in a clause. It is a folklore result that DNFs of small size can be approximated by DNFs of small width (logarithmic in the size). The other direction is much less clear. Gopalan, Meka and

Quantum DNF Learnability Revisited [PDF]
We describe a quantum PAC learning algorithm for DNF formulae under the uniform distribution with a query complexity of $\tilde{O}(s^{3}/ + s^{2}/ ^{2})$, where $s$ is the size of DNF formula and $ $ is the PAC error accuracy. If $s$ and $1/ $ are comparable, this gives a modest improvement over a previously known classical query complexity of ...

Hardness of learning DNFs using halfspaces [PDF]
The problem of learning $t$-term DNF formulas (for $t = O(1)$) has been studied extensively in the PAC model since its introduction by Valiant (STOC 1984). A $t$-term DNF can be efficiently learnt using a $t$-term DNF only if $t = 1$ i.e., when it is an AND, while even weakly learning a $2$-term DNF using a constant term DNF was shown to be NP-hard by ...

Minimization of Boolean functions in the class of orthogonal disjunctive normal forms
The orthogonal disjunctive normal forms (DNFs) of Boolean functions have wide applications in the logical design of discrete devices. The problem of DNF orthogonalization is to get for a given function such a DNF that any two its terms would be ...

Learning DNF from random walks [PDF]
We consider a model of learning Boolean functions from examples generated by a uniform random walk on {0,1}n. We give a polynomial time algorithm for learning decision trees and DNF formulas in this model. This is the first efficient algorithm for learning these classes in a natural passive learning model where the learner has no influence over the ...
