The ''trace reconstruction'' problem asks, given an unknown binary string $x$ and a channel that repeatedly returns ''traces'' of $x$ with each bit randomly deleted with some probability $p$, how many traces are needed to recover $x$? There…

In the trace reconstruction problem our goal is to learn an unknown string $x\in \{0,1\}^n$ given independent traces of $x$. A trace is obtained by independently deleting each bit of $x$ with some probability $\delta$ and concatenating the…

The well-known trace reconstruction problem is the problem of inferring an unknown source string $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ from independent "traces", i.e. copies of $x$ that have been corrupted by a $\delta$-deletion channel which independently…

In the trace reconstruction problem, an unknown bit string $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ is observed through the deletion channel, which deletes each bit of $x$ with some constant probability $q$, yielding a contracted string $\widetilde{x}$. How many…

We introduce the following natural generalization of trace reconstruction, parameterized by a deletion probability $\delta \in (0,1)$ and length $n$: There is a length $n$ string of probabilities, $S=p_1,\ldots,p_n,$ and each "trace" is…

The insertion-deletion channel takes as input a bit string ${\bf x}\in\{0,1\}^{n}$, and outputs a string where bits have been deleted and inserted independently at random. The trace reconstruction problem is to recover $\bf x$ from many…
