Most existing algorithms for dictionary learning assume that all entries of the (high-dimensional) input data are fully observed. However, in several practical applications (such as hyper-spectral imaging or blood glucose monitoring), only…

We design a nonadaptive algorithm that, given oracle access to a function $f: \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ which is $\alpha$-far from monotone, makes poly$(n, 1/\alpha)$ queries and returns an estimate that, with high probability, is an…

Given a function f: {0,1}^n \to {0,1}, the f-isomorphism testing problem requires a randomized algorithm to distinguish functions that are identical to f up to relabeling of the input variables from functions that are far from being so. An…

We propose an efficient algorithm to compute the real roots of a sparse polynomial $f\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ having $k$ non-zero real-valued coefficients. It is assumed that arbitrarily good approximations of the non-zero coefficients are given…
