Almost-Natural Proofs
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandom number generators do not exist. This famous result is...

A Two-Level Generative Model for Cloth Representation and Shape from Shading
In this paper we present a two-level generative model for representing the images and surface depth maps of drapery and clothes. The upper level consists of a number of folds whic...

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...

Parallelizing time with polynomial circuits
We study the problem of asymptotically reducing the runtime of serial computations with circuits of polynomial size. We give an algorithmic size-depth tradeoff for parallelizing ...

Decomposition based approach for synthesis of multi-level threshold logic circuits
Scaling is currently the most popular technique used to improve performance metrics of CMOS circuits. This cannot go on forever because the properties that are responsible for the ...
