Statistical and Computational Tradeoffs in Stochastic Composite Likelihood
Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...

Hilbert's Thirteenth Problem and Circuit Complexity
We study the following question, communicated to us by Mikl´os Ajtai: Can all explicit (e.g., polynomial time computable) functions f : ({0, 1}w )3 → {0, 1}w be computed by word...

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...

Bounds for the computational power and learning complexity of analog neural nets
Abstract. It is shown that high-order feedforward neural nets of constant depth with piecewisepolynomial activation functions and arbitrary real weights can be simulated for Boolea...

Weighted barrier functions for computation of force distributions with friction cone constraints
— We present a novel Weighted Barrier Function (WBF) method of efficiently computing optimal grasping force distributions for multifingered hands. Second-order conic friction c...
