The traditional, well established approach to finding out what works in education research is to run a randomized controlled trial (RCT) using a standard pretest and posttest desig...

We propose a novel way to induce a random field from an energy function on discrete labels. It amounts to locally injecting noise to the energy potentials, followed by finding t...
In this paper we present a randomized parallel algorithm to sample matchings from an almost uniform distribution on the set of matchings of all sizes in a graph. First we prove th...
Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...
Let C be a class of distributions over {0, 1}n . A deterministic randomness extractor for C is a function E : {0, 1}n {0, 1}m such that for any X in C the distribution E(X) is sta...
