A Lower Bound for Testing 3-Colorability in Bounded-Degree Graphs
We consider the problem of testing 3-colorability in the bounded-degree model. We show that, for small enough ε, every tester for 3colorability must have query complexity Ω(n)....

Distribution-Free Testing Lower Bounds for Basic Boolean Functions
: In the distribution-free property testing model, the distance between functions is measured with respect to an arbitrary and unknown probability distribution D over the input dom...

Lower Bounds for Testing Bipartiteness in Dense Graphs
We consider the problem of testing bipartiteness in the adjacency matrix model. The best known algorithm, due to Alon and Krivelevich, distinguishes between bipartite graphs and g...

Property Testing Lower Bounds via Communication Complexity
We develop a new technique for proving lower bounds in property testing, by showing a strong connection between testing and communication complexity. We give a simple scheme for r...

A quadratic lower bound for Rocchio's similarity-based relevance feedback algorithm with a fixed query updating factor
Rocchio’s similarity-based relevance feedback algorithm, one of the most important query reformation methods in information retrieval, is essentially an adaptive supervised lear...
