Lower Bounds and Hardness Amplification for Learning Shallow Monotone Formulas
Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...

On a Generalized Notion of Mistake Bounds
This paper proposes the use of constructive ordinals as mistake bounds in the on-line learning model. This approach elegantly generalizes the applicability of the on-line mistake ...

Cross-Composition: A New Technique for Kernelization Lower Bounds
We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

Melding Priority Queues
We show that any priority queue data structure that supports insert, delete, and find-min operations in pq(n) time, when n is an upper bound on the number of elements in the prio...

Variational Chernoff Bounds for Graphical Models
Recent research has made significant progress on the problem of bounding log partition functions for exponential family graphical models. Such bounds have associated dual paramete...
