PCPs and the Hardness of Generating Synthetic Data
Assuming the existence of one-way functions, we show that there is no polynomial-time, differentially private algorithm A that takes a database D ({0, 1}d )n and outputs a "...

In-Network Computation in Random Wireless Networks: A PAC Approach to Constant Refresh Rates with Lower Energy Costs
—We propose a method to compute a probably approximately correct (PAC) normalized histogram of observations with a refresh rate of Âð1Þ time units per histogram sample on a ra...
