Abstract

In formal approaches to inductive learning, the ability to learn is
understood as the ability to single out a correct hypothesis from a
range of possibilities. Although most of the existing research focuses
on the characteristics of the learner, in many paradigms the
significance of the teacher’s abilities and strategies is in fact
undeniable. Motivated by this observation, in this paper we highlight
the interactive nature of learning by proposing a game-theoretical and
logical approach. We consider learning as a sabotagetype game between
Teacher and Learner, and present different variants based on the level
of cooperativeness and the actions available to the players. We
characterize the existence of a winning strategy in such games by
formulas of Sabotage Modal Logic, analyzing also their complexity. Our
work constitutes the first step towards a unified game-theoretical and
logical approach to formal learning theory.
