We consider some computationally efficient and provably correct algorithms with near-optimal sample-complexity for the problem of noisy non-adaptive group testing. Group testing involves grouping arbitrary subsets of items into pools. Each…

We consider the problem of detecting a small subset of defective items from a large set via non-adaptive "random pooling" group tests. We consider both the case when the measurements are noiseless, and the case when the measurements are…

The basic goal in combinatorial group testing is to identify a set of up to $d$ defective items within a large population of size $n \gg d$ using a pooling strategy. Namely, the items can be grouped together in pools, and a single…

The fundamental task of group testing is to recover a small distinguished subset of items from a large population while efficiently reducing the total number of tests (measurements). The key contribution of this paper is in adopting a new…

This paper considers the problem of Quantitative Group Testing (QGT) where there are some defective items among a large population of $N$ items. We consider the scenario in which each item is defective with probability $K/N$, independently…

In this paper, we study the problem of quantitative group testing (QGT) and analyze the performance of three models: the noiseless model, the additive Gaussian noise model, and the noisy Z-channel model. For each model, we analyze two…

This paper considers the problem of Quantitative Group Testing (QGT). Consider a set of $N$ items among which $K$ items are defective. The QGT problem is to identify (all or a sufficiently large fraction of) the defective items, where the…

The Quantitative Group Testing (QGT) is about learning a (hidden) subset $K$ of some large domain $N$ using a sequence of queries, where a result of a query provides information about the size of the intersection of the query with the…

We present a neural network-based framework for solving the quantitative group testing (QGT) problem that achieves both high decoding accuracy and structural verifiability. In QGT, the objective is to identify a small subset of defective…

Non-adaptive group testing refers to the problem of inferring a sparse set of defectives from a larger population using the minimum number of simultaneous pooled tests. Recent positive results for noiseless group testing have motivated the…

Group-testing refers to the problem of identifying (with high probability) a (small) subset of $D$ defectives from a (large) set of $N$ items via a "small" number of "pooled" tests. For ease of presentation in this work we focus on the…

We consider an efficiently decodable non-adaptive group testing (NAGT) problem that meets theoretical bounds. The problem is to find a few specific items (at most $d$) satisfying certain characteristics in a colossal number of $N$ items as…

Group testing enables the identification of a small subset of defective items within a larger population by performing tests on pools of items rather than on each item individually. Over the years, it has not only attracted attention from…

The group testing problem consists of determining a small set of defective items from a larger set of items based on a number of possibly-noisy tests, and is relevant in applications such as medical testing, communication protocols, pattern…

The original problem of group testing consists in the identification of defective items in a collection, by applying tests on groups of items that detect the presence of at least one defective item in the group. The aim is then to identify…

The goal of combinatorial group testing is to efficiently identify up to $d$ defective items in a large population of $n$ items, where $d \ll n$. Defective items satisfy certain properties while the remaining items in the population do not.…

In the classical non-adaptive group testing setup, pools of items are tested together, and the main goal of a recovery algorithm is to identify the "complete defective set" given the outcomes of different group tests. In contrast, the main…
