On Detecting Some Defective Items in Group Testing

no code implementations27 Jun 2023 Nader H. Bshouty, Catherine A. Haddad-Zaknoon

We develop upper and lower bounds on the number of tests required to detect $\ell$ defective items in both the adaptive and non-adaptive settings while considering scenarios where no prior knowledge of $d$ is available, and situations where an estimate of $d$ or at least some non-trivial upper bound on $d$ is available.

Almost Optimal Proper Learning and Testing Polynomials

no code implementations7 Feb 2022 Nader H. Bshouty

For $s$-sparse polynomial over $n$ variables and $\epsilon=1/s^\beta$, $\beta>1$, our algorithm makes $$q_U=\left(\frac{s}{\epsilon}\right)^{\frac{\log \beta}{\beta}+O(\frac{1}{\beta})}+ \tilde O\left(s\right)\left(\log\frac{1}{\epsilon}\right)\log n$$ queries.

On Learning and Testing Decision Tree

no code implementations10 Aug 2021 Nader H. Bshouty, Catherine A. Haddad-Zaknoon

In this paper, we study learning and testing decision tree of size and depth that are significantly smaller than the number of attributes $n$.

Bounds for the Number of Tests in Non-Adaptive Randomized Algorithms for Group Testing

no code implementations5 Nov 2019 Nader H. Bshouty, George Haddad, Catherine A. Haddad-Zaknoon

In this paper, we study the measures $$c_{\cal M}(d)=\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{m_{\cal M}(n, d)}{\ln n} \mbox{ and } c_{\cal M}=\lim_{d\to \infty} \frac{c_{\cal M}(d)}{d}.$$ In the literature, the analyses of such models only give upper bounds for $c_{\cal M}(d)$ and $c_{\cal M}$, and for some of them, the bounds are not tight.

Adaptive Exact Learning of Decision Trees from Membership Queries

no code implementations23 Jan 2019 Nader H. Bshouty, Catherine A. Haddad-Zaknoon

In this paper we study the adaptive learnability of decision trees of depth at most $d$ from membership queries.

On Learning Graphs with Edge-Detecting Queries

no code implementations28 Mar 2018 Hasan Abasi, Nader H. Bshouty

We then give two two-round Monte Carlo algorithms, the first asks $O(m^{4/3}\log n)$ queries for any $n$ and $m$, and the second asks $O(m\log n)$ queries when $n>2^m$.

On Polynomial time Constructions of Minimum Height Decision Tree

no code implementations1 Feb 2018 Nader H. Bshouty, Waseem Makhoul

The second result is a polynomial time $(\ln 2) DEN(A)$-approximation (and therefore $(\ln 2) ETD(A)$-approximation) algorithm for the depth of the decision tree of $A$.

Non-Adaptive Randomized Algorithm for Group Testing

no code implementations9 Aug 2017 Nader H. Bshouty, Nuha Diab, Shada R. Kawar, Robert J. Shahla

We show that there is a linear time decoding for such test and for $d\to \infty$ the number of tests converges to the number of tests with the separability property and is therefore optimal (in the RID model).

The Maximum Cosine Framework for Deriving Perceptron Based Linear Classifiers

no code implementations4 Jul 2017 Nader H. Bshouty, Catherine A. Haddad-Zaknoon

Moreover, we construct a cosine bound from which we build the Maximum Cosine Perceptron algorithm or, for short, the MCP algorithm.

Exact Learning of Juntas from Membership Queries

no code implementations21 Jun 2017 Nader H. Bshouty, Areej Costa

In this paper, we study adaptive and non-adaptive exact learning of Juntas from membership queries.

Learning Disjunctions of Predicates

no code implementations15 Jun 2017 Nader H. Bshouty, Dana Drachsler-Cohen, Martin Vechev, Eran Yahav

Our algorithm asks at most $|F| \cdot OPT(F_\vee)$ membership queries where $OPT(F_\vee)$ is the minimum worst case number of membership queries for learning $F_\vee$.

We give a new deterministic algorithm that non-adaptively learns a hidden hypergraph from edge-detecting queries.

We also give a non-adaptive proper learning algorithm that asks $n^{O(t^3)}$ membership queries.

On Exact Learning Monotone DNF from Membership Queries

no code implementations5 May 2014 Hasan Abasi, Nader H. Bshouty, Hanna Mazzawi

In this paper, we study the problem of learning a monotone DNF with at most $s$ terms of size (number of variables in each term) at most $r$ ($s$ term $r$-MDNF) from membership queries.
