Recent Developments in Explicit Constructions of Extractors
Extractors are functions which are able to "extract" random bits from arbitrary distributions which "contain" sufficient randomness. Explicit constructions of ...

Better extractors for better codes?
We present an explicit construction of codes that can be list decoded from a fraction (1 - ) of errors in sub-exponential time and which have rate / logO(1) (1/). This comes close...

Unbalanced Expanders and Randomness Extractors from Parvaresh-Vardy Codes
We give an improved explicit construction of highly unbalanced bipartite expander graphs with expansion arbitrarily close to the degree (which is polylogarithmic in the number of ...

Extractors for a constant number of polynomially small min-entropy independent sources
We consider the problem of randomness extraction from independent sources. We construct an extractor that can extract from a constant number of independent sources of length n, ea...

Extractor codes
We study error-correcting codes for highly noisy channels. For example, every received signal in the channel may originate from some half of the symbols in the alphabet. Our main c...
