If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case Then It is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

Restricted Boltzmann Machines are Hard to Approximately Evaluate or Simulate
Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) are a type of probability model over the Boolean cube {-1, 1}n that have recently received much attention. We establish the intractability of ...

The Shortest Vector in a Lattice is Hard to Approximate to Within Some Constant
We show that approximating the shortest vector problem (in any p norm) to within any constant factor less than p 2 is hard for NP under reverse unfaithful random reductions with i...

Hardness of approximate two-level logic minimization and PAC learning with membership queries
Producing a small DNF expression consistent with given data is a classical problem in computer science that occurs in a number of forms and has numerous applications. We consider ...
