The Ordinal-Recursive Complexity of Timed-arc Petri Nets, Data Nets, and Other Enriched Nets
—We show how to reliably compute fast-growing functions with timed-arc Petri nets and data nets. This construction provides ordinal-recursive lower bounds on the complexity of th...

Tight Lower Bounds for Certain Parameterized NP-Hard Problems
Based on the framework of parameterized complexity theory, we derive tight lower bounds on the computational complexity for a number of well-known NP-hard problems. We start by pr...

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...

Complexity of Stochastic Branch and Bound Methods for Belief Tree Search in Bayesian Reinforcement Learning
There has been a lot of recent work on Bayesian methods for reinforcement learning exhibiting near-optimal online performance. The main obstacle facing such methods is that in most...

The Complexity of Distributions
Complexity theory typically studies the complexity of computing a function h(x) : {0, 1}m {0, 1}n of a given input x. A few works have suggested to study the complexity of genera...
