Phase Transitions in Group Testing
The group testing problem consists of determining a sparse subset of a set of items that are “defective” based on a set of possibly noisy tests, and arises in areas such as me...

Algorithms and Adaptivity Gaps for Stochastic Probing
A stochastic probing problem consists of a set of elements whose values are independent random variables. The algorithm knows the distributions of these variables, but not the act...

Evolutionary Dynamics in Finite Populations Mix Rapidly
In this paper we prove that the mixing time of a broad class of evolutionary dynamics in finite, unstructured populations is roughly logarithmic in the size of the state space. A...

Deterministic APSP, Orthogonal Vectors, and More: Quickly Derandomizing Razborov-Smolensky
We show how to solve all-pairs shortest paths on n nodes in deterministic n3/2Ω( √ logn) time, and how to count the pairs of orthogonal vectors among n 0-1 vectors in d = clog...
