Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...

Randomized algorithms for tracking distributed count, frequencies, and ranks
We show that randomization can lead to significant improvements for a few fundamental problems in distributed tracking. Our basis is the count-tracking problem, where there are k...

The communication complexity of the Hamming distance problem
We investigate the randomized and quantum communication complexity of the HAMMING DISTANCE problem, which is to determine if the Hamming distance between two n-bit strings is no l...

An Improved Analysis of Linear Mergers
Mergers are procedures that, with the aid of a short random string, transform k (possibly dependent) random sources into a single random source, in a way that ensures that if one ...

Texture Exemplars for Defect Detection on Random Textures
We present a new approach to detecting defects in random textures which requires only very few defect free samples for unsupervised training. Each product image is divided into ove...
