Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical This paper provides theoretical justification for exact values (or in some cases bounds) of some of the most central information complexity parameters, namely the VC dimension, the (recursive) teaching dimension, the self-directed learning complexity, and the optimal mistake bound, for classes of acyclic CP-nets. We further provide an algorithm that learns tree-structured CP-nets from membership queries. Using our results on complexity parameters, we can assess the optimality of our algorithm as well as that of another query learning algorithm for acyclic CP-nets presented in the literature.

Pseudocode Yes Now we have a simple strategy for learning tree CP-nets with membership queries: 1. For every variable vi, ask O(m log(m)) membership queries from the swaps over Ii,j to obtain orders over Ii,j for all j. 2. If at least two of the orders differ, i.e., there is a conflict pair, find the only parent of vi by log(n) further queries, else Pa(vi) = ;. 3. CPT(vi) is determined by the queries above.
