Pseudorandom Bits for Constant Depth Circuits with Few Arbitrary Symmetric Gates
We exhibit an explicitly computable ‘pseudorandom’ generator stretching l bits into m(l) = lΩ(log l) bits that look random to constant-depth circuits of size m(l) with log m...

Efficient Learning Algorithms Yield Circuit Lower Bounds
We describe a new approach for understanding the difficulty of designing efficient learning algorithms. We prove that the existence of an efficient learning algorithm for a circui...

New direct-product testers and 2-query PCPs
The "direct product code" of a function f gives its values on all k-tuples (f(x1), . . . , f(xk)). This basic construct underlies "hardness amplification" in c...
