Interpolation in Valiant's theory
We investigate the following question: if a polynomial can be evaluated at rational points by a polynomial-time boolean algorithm, does it have a polynomial-size arithmetic circuit...

Valiant-Vazirani Lemmata for Various Logics
We show analogues of a theorem due to Valiant and Vazirani [16] for intractable parameterized complexity classes such as W[P], W[SAT] and the classes of the W-hierarchy as well as...

Evolvability
A framework for analyzing the computational capabilities and the limitations of the evolutionary process of random change guided by selection was recently introduced by Valiant [V...

Distribution-Independent Evolvability of Linear Threshold Functions
Valiant’s (2007) model of evolvability models the evolutionary process of acquiring useful functionality as a restricted form of learning from random examples. Linear threshold ...

Estimating the unseen: A sublinear-sample canonical estimator of distributions
We introduce a new approach to characterizing the unobserved portion of a distribution, which provides sublinear-sample additive estimators for a class of properties that includes...
