Learning Geometric Concepts via Gaussian Surface Area
We study the learnability of sets in Rn under the Gaussian distribution, taking Gaussian surface area as the “complexity measure” of the sets being learned. Let CS denote the ...

Statistical Learning of Arbitrary Computable Classifiers
Statistical learning theory chiefly studies restricted hypothesis classes, particularly those with finite Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension. The fundamental quantity of interest i...

A Robust Logical and Computational Characterisation of Peer-to-Peer Database Systems
In this paper we give a robust logical and computational characterisation of peer-to-peer (p2p) database systems. We first define a precise model-theoretic semantics of a p2p sys...

Hybrid-secure MPC: trading information-theoretic robustness for computational privacy
Most protocols for distributed, fault-tolerant computation, or multi-party computation (MPC), provide security guarantees in an all-or-nothing fashion: If the number of corrupted p...

The wireless synchronization problem
In this paper, we study the wireless synchronization problem which requires devices activated at different times on a congested single-hop radio network to synchronize their roun...
