Extracting All the Randomness from a Weakly Random Source
In this paper, we give two explicit constructions of extractors, both of which work for a source of any min-entropy on strings of length n. The rst extracts any constant fraction ...

Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...

Explicit Learning: an Effort towards Human Scheduling Algorithms
Scheduling problems are generally NP-hard combinatorial problems, and a lot of research has been done to solve these problems heuristically. However, most of the previous approach...

Increasing the Output Length of Zero-Error Dispersers
Let C be a class of probability distributions over a finite set . A function D : {0, 1}m is a disperser for C with entropy threshold k and error if for any distribution X in C s...

Constructive Protocol Specification Using Cicero
—New protocols are often useful, but are hard to implement well. Protocol synthesis is a solution, but synthesized protocols can be slow. Implementing protocols will be even more...
