Bounds on the Covering Radius of Linear Codes
Asymptotically bounding the covering radius in terms of the dual distance is a well-studied problem. We will combine the polynomial approach with estimates of the distance distribu...

Lower Bounds on Learning Random Structures with Statistical Queries
We show that random DNF formulas, random log-depth decision trees and random deterministic finite acceptors cannot be weakly learned with a polynomial number of statistical queries...

Lower Bounds for Distributed Coin-Flipping and Randomized Consensus
We examine a class of collective coin- ipping games that arises from randomized distributed algorithms with halting failures. In these games, a sequence of local coin ips is gener...

Learning Factor Graphs in Polynomial Time and Sample Complexity
We study the computational and sample complexity of parameter and structure learning in graphical models. Our main result shows that the class of factor graphs with bounded degree...

Counting and locating the solutions of polynomial systems of maximum likelihood equations, I
In statistics, mixture models consisting of several component subpopulations are used widely to model data drawn from heterogeneous sources. In this paper, we consider maximum lik...
