We study the problem of group testing with a non-adaptive randomized algorithm in the random incidence design (RID) model where each entry in the test is chosen randomly independently from $\{0,1\}$ with a fixed probability $p$. The…

We consider the group testing problem, in the case where the items are defective independently but with non-constant probability. We introduce and analyse an algorithm to solve this problem by grouping items together appropriately. We give…

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is one of the most important tools in digital signal processing. FFT costs O(N \log N) for transforming a signal of length N. Recently, Sparse Fourier Transform (SFT) has emerged as a critical issue addressing…

We investigate the problem of probably approximately correct and fair (PACF) ranking of items by adaptively evoking pairwise comparisons. Given a set of $n$ items that belong to disjoint groups, our goal is to find an $(\epsilon,…

We consider adaptive group testing in the linear regime, where the number of defective items scales linearly with the number of items. We analyse an algorithm based on generalized binary splitting. Provided fewer than half the items are…

Group testing is a useful method that has broad applications in medicine, engineering, and even in airport security control. Consider a finite population of $N$ items, where item $i$ has a probability $p_i$ to be defective. The goal is to…

In the Group Testing problem, the objective is to learn a subset K of some much larger domain N, using the shortest-possible sequence of queries Q. A feedback to a query provides some information about the intersection between the query and…
