Information Theory in Property Testing and Monotonicity Testing in Higher Dimension
In property testing, we are given oracle access to a function f, and we wish to test if the function satisfies a given property P, or it is ε-far from having that property. In a...

Robust cost colorings
We consider graph coloring problems where the cost of a coloring is the sum of the costs of the colors, and the cost of a color is a monotone concave function of the total weight ...

On Learning Monotone DNF under Product Distributions
We show that the class of monotone 2O( √ log n)-term DNF formulae can be PAC learned in polynomial time under the uniform distribution from random examples only. This is an expo...

Lower Bounds and Hardness Amplification for Learning Shallow Monotone Formulas
Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...

Learning Stochastic Perceptrons Under k-Blocking Distributions
We present a statistical method that PAC learns the class of stochastic perceptrons with arbitrary monotonic activation function and weights wi {-1, 0, +1} when the probability d...
