Improved Approximation of Linear Threshold Functions
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...

Hardness of Learning Halfspaces with Noise
Learning an unknown halfspace (also called a perceptron) from labeled examples is one of the classic problems in machine learning. In the noise-free case, when a halfspace consist...

Spanners for Geometric Intersection Graphs
A ball graph is an intersection graph of a set of balls with arbitrary radii. Given a real number t > 1, we say that a subgraph G′ of a graph G is a t-spanner of G, if for eve...

A New Force-Directed Graph Drawing Method Based on Edge-Edge Repulsion
The conventional force-directed methods for drawing undirected graphs are based on either vertex-vertex repulsion or vertex-edge repulsion. In this paper, we propose a new force-d...

On Perfect and Adaptive Security in Exposure-Resilient Cryptography
Abstract. We consider the question of adaptive security for two related cryptographic primitives: all-or-nothing transforms and exposureresilient functions. Both are concerned with...
