Almost k-wise independence versus k-wise independence
We say that a distribution over {0, 1}n is ( , k)-wise independent if its restriction to every k coordinates results in a distribution that is -close to the uniform distribution. ...

Poly-logarithmic Independence Fools AC0 Circuits
We prove that poly-sized AC0 circuits cannot distinguish a poly-logarithmically independent distribution from the uniform one. This settles the 1990 conjecture by Linial and Nisan...
