Explainability is a topic of growing importance in NLP. In this work, we provide a unified perspective of explainability as a communication problem between an explainer and a layperson about a classifier's decision. We use this framework to…

One of the strongest techniques available for showing lower bounds on quantum communication complexity is the logarithm of the approximation rank of the communication matrix--the minimum rank of a matrix which is entrywise close to the…

We study the relation between the quantum games, communication complexity problems and Bell inequalities. In particular we are interested in answering the question whether for every element of one of these groups there is a corresponding…

Numbers-on-Forehead (NOF) communication model is a central model in communication complexity. As a restricted variant, one-way NOF model is of particular interest. Establishing strong one-way NOF lower bounds would imply circuit lower…

The literature in modern machine learning has only negative results for learning to communicate between competitive agents using standard RL. We introduce a modified sender-receiver game to study the spectrum of partially-competitive…

Strict Minimum Message Length (SMML) is an information-theoretic statistical inference method widely cited (but only with informal arguments) as providing estimations that are consistent for general estimation problems. It is, however,…

We introduce a new quantum decoder based on a variant of the pretty good measurement, but defined via an alternative matrix quotient. We use this decoder to show new lower bounds on the error exponent both in the one-shot and asymptotic…

For any quantum discrete memoryless channel, we define a quantity called quantum entanglement capacity with classical feedback ($E_B$), and we show that this quantity lies between two other well-studied quantities. These two quantities -…

We study a variant of QMA where quantum proofs have no relative phase (i.e. non-negative amplitudes, up to a global phase). If only completeness is modified, this class is equal to QMA [arXiv:1410.2882]; but if both completeness and…
