Abstract
We study the learnability of concept classes from membership and
equivalence queries. We develop the Monotone theory that proves (1) Any
boolean function is learnable as decision tree. (2) Any boolean function
is either learnable as DNF or as CNF (or both). The first result solves
the open problem of the learnability of decision trees and the second
result gives more evidence that DNFs are not “very hard” to
learn
