Abstract:
This paper discusses some key issues about an interactive learning approach based on the theory of monotone Boolean functions. We present some key problems and the main steps of some algorithms for solving them. The concept of Shannon functions is used as a criterion for algorithmic optimality. The proposed approach allows for the possibility to decrease the number of positive and negative examples needed to infer a monotone Boolean function, and thus can make this type of machine learning systems more applicable.

Key Words:
Learning from examples, Monotone Boolean Functions, Shannon Function.
