Optimal Direct Sum Results for Deterministic and Randomized Decision Tree Complexity
A Direct Sum Theorem holds in a model of computation, when for every problem solving some k input instances together is k times as expensive as solving one. We show that Direct Su...

Randomized vs.Deterministic Decision Tree Complexity for Read-Once Boolean Functions
We consider the deterministic and the randomized decision tree complexities for Boolean functions, denoted DC(f) and RC(f), respectively. A major open problem is how small RC(f) ca...

An Efficient Algorithm for Easy-First Non-Directional Dependency Parsing
We present a novel deterministic dependency parsing algorithm that attempts to create the easiest arcs in the dependency structure first in a non-directional manner. Traditional d...

Weak Derandomization of Weak Algorithms: Explicit Versions of Yao's Lemma
—A simple averaging argument shows that given a randomized algorithm A and a function f such that for every input x, Pr[A(x) = f(x)] ≥ 1−ρ (where the probability is over the...

New Results in the Simultaneous Message Passing Model via Information Theoretic Techniques
—Consider the following Simultaneous Message Passing (SMP) model for computing a relation f ⊆ X ×Y ×Z. In this model Alice, on input x ∈ X and Bob, on input y ∈ Y, send o...
