On Bounding Problems of Quantitative Information Flow
Abstract. Researchers have proposed formal definitions of quantitative information flow based on information theoretic notions such as the Shannon entropy, the min entropy, the gue...

Finding low-entropy sets and trees from binary data
The discovery of subsets with special properties from binary data has been one of the key themes in pattern discovery. Pattern classes such as frequent itemsets stress the co-occu...

The Complexity of the Covering Radius Problem on Lattices and Codes
We initiate the study of the computational complexity of the covering radius problem for point lattices, and approximation versions of the problem for both lattices and linear cod...

On the complexity of communication complexity
We consider the following question: given a two-argument boolean function f, represented as an N ? N binary matrix, how hard is to determine the (deterministic) communication comp...

From query complexity to computational complexity
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...
