Complexity of Teaching by a Restricted Number of Examples

چکیده
Teaching is inextricably linked to learning, and there are many studies on the complexity of teaching as well as learning in computational learning theory. In this paper, we study the complexity of teaching in the situation that the number of examples is restricted, especially less than its teaching dimension. We formulate a model of teaching by a restricted number of examples, where the complexity is measured by the maximum error to a target concept. We call a concept class is optimally incrementally teachable if the teacher can optimally teach it to the learner whenever teaching is terminated. We study the complexity of the three concept classes of monotone monomials, monomials without the empty concept, and monomials in our model. We show that the boundary of optimally incremental teachability is different from that of polynomial teachability in the classical model. We also show that inconsistent examples help to reduce the maximum error in our model.

On the computational complexity of finding a minimal basis for the guess and determine attack
Guess-and-determine attack is one of the general attacks on stream ciphers. It is a common cryptanalysis tool for evaluating security of stream ciphers. The effectiveness of this attack is based on the number of unknown bits which will be guessed by the attacker to break the cryptosystem. In this work, we present a relation between the minimum numbers of the guessed bits and uniquely restricted...
متن کاملSIZE AND GEOMETRY OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSSES USING TEACHING-LEARNING-BASED OPTIMIZATION
A novel optimization algorithm named teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm and its implementation procedure were presented in this paper. TLBO is a meta-heuristic method, which simulates the phenomenon in classes. TLBO has two phases: teacher phase and learner phase. Students learn from teachers in teacher phases and obtain knowledge by mutual learning in learner phase. The suit...
متن کاملEFL Textbooks, L2 Contacts, and Teacher Self-Efficacy: Impact on Learners’ Development of Oral Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency
Researchers have extensively compared different L2 learning contexts, such as EFL versus study-abroad, for their impacts on oral production; however, scant attention, if any, has been paid to comparing EFL settings in terms of input factors such as textbooks, amount of contacts in L2, and teachers. Accordingly, the effects of these factors on the oral production skills were investigated in this...
متن کاملEvidence-based bioactive phytoconstituents for human health and disease prevention
The term “medicinal” as applied to a plant indicates that it contains a substance or substances which modulate beneficially the physiology of sick mammals. Thousands of species of higher plants have been used by man for that purpose. Modern techniques have revealed the enormous variety and complexity of so-called secondary plant chemicals, i.e., those which do not occur in all species, but whic...
