Testing Halfspaces
This paper addresses the problem of testing whether a Boolean-valued function f is a halfspace, i.e. a function of the form f(x) = sgn(w·x−θ). We consider halfspaces over the ...

Pseudorandom generators for CC0[p] and the Fourier spectrum of low-degree polynomials over finite fields
In this paper we give the first construction of a pseudorandom generator, with seed length O(log n), for CC0[p], the class of constant-depth circuits with unbounded fan-in MODp ga...
