Algorithm-Directed Exploration for Model-Based Reinforcement Learning in Factored MDPs
One of the central challenges in reinforcement learning is to balance the exploration/exploitation tradeoff while scaling up to large problems. Although model-based reinforcement ...

How to Build a Hash Function from Any Collision-Resistant Function
Recent collision-finding attacks against hash functions such as MD5 and SHA-1 motivate the use of provably collision-resistant (CR) functions in their place. Finding a collision ...

On Using Extended Statistical Queries to Avoid Membership Queries
The Kushilevitz-Mansour (KM) algorithm is an algorithm that finds all the “large” Fourier coefficients of a Boolean function. It is the main tool for learning decision trees ...

Short Signatures from Weaker Assumptions
We provide constructions of (m, 1)-programmable hash functions (PHFs) for m ≥ 2. Mimicking certain programmability properties of random oracles, PHFs can, e.g., be plugged into ...

Blind Authentication Using Periodic Properties of Interpolation
In this paper we analyze and analytically describe the specific statistical changes brought into the covariance structure of signal by the interpolation process. We show that inter...
