Abstract

We consider the problem of learning the hypergraph using edge-detecting queries. In this model, the learner is allowed to query whether a set of vertices includes an edge from a hidden hypergraph. Except a few, all previous algorithms assume that a query's result is always correct. In this paper we study the problem of learning a hypergraph where alpha -fraction of the queries are incorrect. The main contribution of this paper is generalizing the well-known structure CFF (Cover Free Family) to be Dense (we will call it DCFF - Dense Cover Free Family) while presenting three different constructions for DCFF. Later, we use these constructions wisely to give a polynomial time non-adaptive learning algorithm for a hypergraph problem with at most alpha-fracion incorrect queries. The hypergraph problem is also known as both monotone DNF learning problem, and complexes group testing problem.
