Solving MAX-r-SAT Above a Tight Lower Bound
We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed r ≥ 2 in time O(m) + 2O(k2 ) whether a given multiset of m clauses of size r admits a truth assignment that satisfi...

Lower bounds on multiple sequence alignment using exact 3-way alignment
Background: Multiple sequence alignment is fundamental. Exponential growth in computation time appears to be inevitable when an optimal alignment is required for many sequences. E...

Information inequalities for joint distributions, with interpretations and applications
Upper and lower bounds are obtained for the joint entropy of a collection of random variables in terms of an arbitrary collection of subset joint entropies. These inequalities gene...

Lower bounds for collusion-secure fingerprinting
Collusion-secure fingerprinting codes are an important primitive used by many digital watermarking schemes [1, 10, 9]. Boneh and Shaw [3] define a model for these types of codes...

Efficient Learning Algorithms Yield Circuit Lower Bounds
We describe a new approach for understanding the difficulty of designing efficient learning algorithms. We prove that the existence of an efficient learning algorithm for a circui...
