We study the problem of auditing databases which support statistical sum queries to protect the security of sensitive information; we focus on the special case in which the sensit...

In this paper, Boolean functions in ,4C0 are studied using harmonic analysis on the cube. The main result is that an ACO Boolean function has almost all of its “power spectrum”...
We give an algorithm that learns any monotone Boolean function f : {-1, 1}n {-1, 1} to any constant accuracy, under the uniform distribution, in time polynomial in n and in the de...
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...
The usefulness of the hit-miss transform (HMT) and related transforms for pattern matching in document image applications is examined. Although the HMT is sensitive to the types o...
