List-Decoding Using The XOR Lemma
We show that Yao’s XOR Lemma, and its essentially equivalent rephrasing as a Direct Product Lemma, can be re-interpreted as a way of obtaining error-correcting codes with good l...

Testing Symmetric Properties of Distributions
We introduce the notion of a Canonical Tester for a class of properties on distributions, that is, a tester strong and general enough that “a distribution property in the class ...

Boosting algorithms for simultaneous feature extraction and selection
The problem of simultaneous feature extraction and selection, for classifier design, is considered. A new framework is proposed, based on boosting algorithms that can either 1) s...

On the Effectiveness of Rebuilding RNA Secondary Structures from Sequence Chunks
Despite the computing power of emerging technologies, predicting long RNA secondary structures with thermodynamics-based methods is still infeasible, especially if the structures ...

Walrasian Equilibrium: Hardness, Approximations and Tractable Instances
We study the complexity issues for Walrasian equilibrium in a special case of combinatorial auction, called single-minded auction, in which every participant is interested in only ...
