Bounded-depth circuits cannot sample good codes
We study a variant of the classical circuit-lower-bound problems: proving lower bounds for sampling distributions given random bits. We prove a lower bound of 1 - 1/n(1) on the st...

What Cannot be Learned with Bethe Approximations
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...

Mechanism Design-Based Secure Leader Election Model for Intrusion Detection in MANET
—In this paper, we study leader election in the presence of selfish nodes for intrusion detection in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). To balance the resource consumption among a...

Resolution cannot polynomially simulate compressed-BFS
Many algorithms for Boolean satisfiability (SAT) work within the framework of resolution as a proof system, and thus on unsatisfiable instances they can be viewed as attempting to...
