A Direct Product Theorem for Discrepancy
Discrepancy is a versatile bound in communication complexity which can be used to show lower bounds in the distributional, randomized, quantum, and even unbounded error models of ...

Learning Monotone Decision Trees in Polynomial Time
We give an algorithm that learns any monotone Boolean function f : {-1, 1}n {-1, 1} to any constant accuracy, under the uniform distribution, in time polynomial in n and in the de...

Making Hard Problems Harder
We consider a general approach to the hoary problem of (im)proving circuit lower bounds. We define notions of hardness condensing and hardness extraction, in analogy to the corres...

Optimal Hardness Results for Maximizing Agreements with Monomials
We consider the problem of finding a monomial (or a term) that maximizes the agreement rate with a given set of examples over the Boolean hypercube. The problem is motivated by le...

Lower Bounds for Multi-Player Pointer Jumping
We consider the k-layer pointer jumping problem in the one-way multi-party number-on-the-forehead communication model. Sufficiently strong lower bounds for the problem would have...
