A function on n variables is called a k-junta if it depends on at most k of its variables. In this article, we show that it is possible to test whether a function is a k-junta or ...
Spectral clustering refers to a flexible class of clustering procedures that can produce high-quality clusterings on small data sets but which has limited applicability to large-s...
Researchers in the social and behavioral sciences routinely rely on quasi-experimental designs to discover knowledge from large databases. Quasi-experimental designs (QEDs) exploi...

The emergence of multicore architectures will lead to an increase in the use of multithreaded applications that are prone to synchronization bugs, such as data races. Software sol...
In this work, we consider the problems of testing whether a distribution over {0, 1}n is k-wise (resp. ( , k)-wise) independent using samples drawn from that distribution. For the...
