In 2002 Jackson et al. [JKS02] asked whether AC0 circuits augmented with a threshold gate at the output can be efficiently learned from uniform random examples. We answer this ques...
We prove lower bounds on the redundancy necessary to represent a set S of objects using a number of bits close to the information-theoretic minimum log2 |S|, while answering vario...
We investigate the problem of local reconstruction, as defined by Saks and Seshadhri (2008), in the context of error correcting codes. The first problem we address is that of me...
The literature on algorithmic mechanism design is mostly concerned with game-theoretic versions of optimization problems to which standard economic money-based mechanisms cannot b...
Quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) with a Hamming distance matrix for a hypercube or a Manhattan distance matrix for a rectangular grid arise frequently from communications and ...
