Perfectly secret message transmission can be realized with only partially secret and weakly correlated information shared by the parties as soon as this information allows for the ...
We establish a monotonicity principle for convex functions that enables high-level reasoning about capacity in information theory. Despite its simplicity, this single idea is rema...
We prove new lower bounds for locally decodable codes and private information retrieval. We show that a 2-query LDC encoding nbit strings over an ℓ-bit alphabet, where the decode...
We introduce a new state discrimination problem in which we are given additional information about the state after the measurement, or more generally, after a quantum memory bound ...

This paper reports a new general framework of focused web crawling based on "relational subgroup discovery". Predicates are used explicitly to represent the relevance cl...
