We construct a framework which allows an algorithm to turn the distributions produced by some boosting algorithms into polynomially smooth distributions (w.r.t. the PAC oracle...
Conceptual complexity is emerging as a new bottleneck as data-base developers, application developers, and database administrators struggle to design and comprehend large, complex...
Abstract. We prove several results about the average-case complexity of problems in the Polynomial Hierarchy (PH). We give a connection among average-case, worst-case, and non-unif...
In the game of Penney Ante two players take turns publicly selecting two distinct words of length n using letters from an alphabet of size q. They roll a fair q sided die having ...
We study the task of randomness extraction from sources which are distributed uniformly on an unknown algebraic variety. In other words, we are interested in constructing a functi...
