New Fourier Representation Enables DNF Learning Under Complex Distributions

Researchers have developed a generalized Fourier representation to tackle the challenge of learning Disjunctive Normal Form (DNF) under non-product distributions. This new method represents any distribution as a Bayesian network, enabling adaptation of standard Fourier-based learning techniques. The work proves that the spectral norm of conjunctions remains bounded for certain Bayesian networks, generalizing previous findings and establishing the learnability of DNF and decision trees under these distributions.

    Learning DNF through Generalized Fourier Representations

    arXiv:2506.01075v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Boolean Fourier representation has been widely used in learning theory, particularly for learning Disjunctive Normal Form (DNF) under uniform and product distributions. Extending these results to non-product distributi…
