Group testing is a long studied problem in combinatorics: A small set of $r$ ill people should be identified out of the whole ($n$ people) by using only queries (tests) of the form "Does set X contain an ill human?". In this paper we…
In the group testing problem the aim is to identify a small set of $k\sim n^\theta$ infected individuals out of a population size $n$, $0<\theta<1$. We avail ourselves of a test procedure capable of testing groups of individuals, with the…
Group testing is a well-known search problem that consists in detecting of $s$ defective members of a set of $t$ samples by carrying out tests on properly chosen subsets of samples. In classical group testing the goal is to find all…
Group testing is the combinatorial problem of identifying the defective items in a population by grouping items into test pools. Recently, nonadaptive group testing - where all the test pools must be decided on at the start - has been…
We introduce a new ensemble of random bipartite graphs, which we term the `smearing ensemble', where each left node is connected to some number of consecutive right nodes. Such graphs arise naturally in the recovery of sparse wavelet…
Given $p$ samples, each of which may or may not be defective, group testing (GT) aims to determine their defect status by performing tests on $n < p$ `groups', where a group is formed by mixing a subset of the $p$ samples. Assuming that the…
The group testing problem is concerned with identifying a small number $k \sim n^\theta$ for $\theta \in (0,1)$ of infected individuals in a large population of size $n$. At our disposal is a testing procedure that allows us to test groups…
Group testing, a problem with diverse applications across multiple disciplines, traditionally assumes independence across nodes' states. Recent research, however, focuses on real-world scenarios that often involve correlations among nodes,…
We study the group testing problem where the goal is to identify a set of k infected individuals carrying a rare disease within a population of size n, based on the outcomes of pooled tests which return positive whenever there is at least…
In this work we prove non-trivial impossibility results for perhaps the simplest non-linear estimation problem, that of {\it Group Testing} (GT), via the recently developed Madiman-Tetali inequalities. Group Testing concerns itself with…
We consider nonadaptive probabilistic group testing in the linear regime, where each of n items is defective independently with probability p in (0,1), and p is a constant independent of n. We show that testing each item individually is…
In this paper we study a new, generalized version of the well-known group testing problem. In the classical model of group testing we are given n objects, some of which are considered to be defective. We can test certain subsets of the…
When the infection prevalence of a disease is low, Dorfman showed 80 years ago that testing groups of people can prove more efficient than testing people individually. Our goal in this paper is to propose new group testing algorithms that…
We consider the problem of recovering a $K$-sparse complex signal $x$ from $m$ intensity measurements. We propose the PhaseCode algorithm, and show that in the noiseless case, PhaseCode can recover an arbitrarily-close-to-one fraction of…
Grebinski and Kucherov (1998) and Alon et al. (2004-2005) study the problem of learning a hidden graph for some especial cases, such as hamiltonian cycle, cliques, stars, and matchings. This problem is motivated by problems in chemical…
Among the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak revealed is the problem to reduce the number of tests required for identifying the virus carriers in order to contain the viral spread while preserving the tests reliability. To cope…
We propose a novel infection spread model based on a random connection graph which represents connections between $n$ individuals. Infection spreads via connections between individuals and this results in a probabilistic cluster formation…
In the pooled data problem, the goal is to identify the categories associated with a large collection of items via a sequence of pooled tests. Each pooled test reveals the number of items in the pool belonging to each category. A prominent…
An instance of a group testing problem is a set of objects $\cO$ and an unknown subset $P$ of $\cO$. The task is to determine $P$ by using queries of the type ``does $P$ intersect $Q$'', where $Q$ is a subset of $\cO$. This problem occurs…
In this paper, we consider the "foreach" sparse recovery problem with failure probability $p$. The goal of which is to design a distribution over $m \times N$ matrices $\Phi$ and a decoding algorithm $\algo$ such that for every…
