Distributed Threshold Querying of General Functions by a Difference of Monotonic Representation
The goal of a threshold query is to detect all objects whose score exceeds a given threshold. This type of query is used in many settings, such as data mining, event triggering, a...

Information Theory in Property Testing and Monotonicity Testing in Higher Dimension
In property testing, we are given oracle access to a function f, and we wish to test if the function satisfies a given property P, or it is ε-far from having that property. In a...

Testing Halfspaces
This paper addresses the problem of testing whether a Boolean-valued function f is a halfspace, i.e. a function of the form f(x) = sgn(w·x−θ). We consider halfspaces over the ...
