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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
