A lower bound for learning distributions generated by probabilistic automata
Balle Pigem, Borja de; Castro Rabal, Jorge; Gavaldà Mestre, Ricard (Springer, 2010)
Conference report
Open AccessKnown algorithms for learning PDFA can only be shown to run in time polynomial in the so-called distinguishability μ of the target machine, besides the number of states and the usual accuracy and confidence parameters. ... -
A New abstract combinatorial dimension for exact learning via queries
Balcázar Navarro, José Luis; Castro Rabal, Jorge; Guijarro Guillem, David (2000-02)
Research report
Open AccessWe introduce an abstract model of exact learning via queries that can be instantiated to all the query learning models currently in use, while being closer to them than previous unificatory attempts. We present a ... -
A note on bounded query learning
Castro Rabal, Jorge (2005-04)
Research report
Open AccessWe study in this note the relationships between two usual models of learning via queries: the so-called exact and bounded learning models. One of our goals is to point out under which conditions the learning dimension ... -
A Note on learning decision lists
Castro Rabal, Jorge (1995-01)
Research report
Open AccessWe show an algorithm that learns decision lists via equivalence queries, provided that a set G including all terms of the target list is given. The algorithm runs in time polynomial in the cardinality of G. From this last ... -
Adaptively learning probabilistic deterministic automata from data streams
Balle Pigem, Borja de; Castro Rabal, Jorge; Gavaldà Mestre, Ricard (2014-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMarkovian models with hidden state are widely-used formalisms for modeling sequential phenomena. Learnability of these models has been well studied when the sample is given in batch mode, and algorithms with PAC-like ... -
Bootstrapping and learning PDFA in data streams
Balle Pigem, Borja de; Castro Rabal, Jorge; Gavaldà Mestre, Ricard (2012)
Conference report
Open AccessMarkovian models with hidden state are widely-used formalisms for modeling sequential phenomena. Learnability of these models has been well studied when the sample is given in batch mode, and algorithms with PAC-like ... -
Characterizations of some complexity classes between [theta sub 2 super p] and [delta sub 2 super p]
Castro Rabal, Jorge; Seara Ojea, Carlos (1990)
Research report
Open AccessWe give some characterizations of the classes P super NP [0(log super k n)]. First, we show that these classes are equal to classes AC super k-1 (N P). Second, we prove that they are also equivalent to some classes defined ... -
Learning nearly monotone k-term DNF
Castro Rabal, Jorge; Guijarro Guillem, David; Lavín Puente, Víctor Angel (1996-09)
Research report
Open AccessThis note studies the learnability of the class k-term DNF with a bounded number of negations per term. We study the case of learning with membership queries alone, and give tight upper and lower bounds on the ... -
Learning PDFA with asynchronous transitions
Balle Pigem, Borja de; Castro Rabal, Jorge; Gavaldà Mestre, Ricard (Springer, 2010)
Conference lecture
Open AccessIn this paper we extend the PAC learning algorithm due to Clark and Thollard for learning distributions generated by PDFA to automata whose transitions may take varying time lengths, governed by exponential distributions. -

Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyKnown algorithms for learning PDFA can only be shown to run in time polynomial in the so-called distinguishability μ of the target machine, besides the number of states and the usual accuracy and confidence parameters. We ... -
Learning probability distributions generated by finite-state machines
Castro Rabal, Jorge; Gavaldà Mestre, Ricard (Springer, 2016)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessWe review methods for inference of probability distributions generated by probabilistic automata and related models for sequence generation. We focus on methods that can be proved to learn in the inference in the limit ... -
Measuring investment opportunities under uncertainty
Castro Rabal, Jorge; Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim; Serna Iglesias, María José (Springer, 2019)
Conference report
Open AccessIn order to make sound economic decisions it is important to measure the possibilities offered by a market in relation to investments. Provided an investment scheme S = (r; R1, . . . , Rn), where r is a lower bound on the ... -
On the query complexity of quantum learners
Castro Rabal, Jorge (2005-06)
Research report
Open AccessThis paper introduces a framework for quantum exact learning via queries, the so-called quantum protocol. It is shown that usual protocols in the classical learning setting have quantum counterparts. A combinatorial notion, ... -
