In the (deletion-channel) trace reconstruction problem, there is an unknown $n$-bit source string $x$. An algorithm is given access to independent traces of $x$, where a trace is formed by deleting each bit of~$x$ independently with…
The deletion channel takes as input a bit string $\mathbf{x} \in \{0,1\}^n$, and deletes each bit independently with probability $q$, yielding a shorter string. The trace reconstruction problem is to recover an unknown string $\mathbf{x}$…
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…
The {\em insertion-deletion channel} takes as input a binary string $x \in\{0, 1\}^n$, and outputs a string $\widetilde{x}$ where some of the bits have been deleted and others inserted independently at random. In the {\em trace…
We consider an \emph{approximate} version of the trace reconstruction problem, where the goal is to recover an unknown string $s\in\{0,1\}^n$ from $m$ traces (each trace is generated independently by passing $s$ through a probabilistic…
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 beautifully simple-to-state problem of trace reconstruction, the goal is to reconstruct an unknown binary string $x$ given random "traces" of $x$ where each trace is generated by deleting each coordinate of $x$ independently with…
In the standard trace reconstruction problem, the goal is to \emph{exactly} reconstruct an unknown source string $\mathsf{x} \in \{0,1\}^n$ from independent "traces", which are copies of $\mathsf{x}$ that have been corrupted by a…
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…
Trace reconstruction is the problem of learning an unknown string $x$ from independent traces of $x$, where traces are generated by independently deleting each bit of $x$ with some deletion probability $q$. In this paper, we initiate the…
Several recent works have considered the \emph{trace reconstruction problem}, in which an unknown source string $x\in\{0,1\}^n$ is transmitted through a probabilistic channel which may randomly delete coordinates or insert random bits,…
In the usual trace reconstruction problem, the goal is to exactly reconstruct an unknown string of length $n$ after it passes through a deletion channel many times independently, producing a set of traces (i.e., random subsequences of the…
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…
The population recovery problem asks one to recover an unknown distribution over $n$-bit strings given access to independent noisy samples of strings drawn from the distribution. Recently, Ban et al. [BCF+19] studied the problem where the…
In the trace reconstruction problem, one observes the output of passing a binary string $s \in \{0,1\}^n$ through a deletion channel $T$ times and wishes to recover $s$ from the resulting $T$ "traces." Most of the literature has focused on…
The goal of trace reconstruction is to reconstruct an unknown $n$-bit string $x$ given only independent random traces of $x$, where a random trace of $x$ is obtained by passing $x$ through a deletion channel. A Statistical Query (SQ)…
Trace reconstruction considers the task of recovering an unknown string $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ given a number of independent "traces", i.e., subsequences of $x$ obtained by randomly and independently deleting every symbol of $x$ with some…
In the \emph{trace reconstruction problem}, an unknown source string $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ is transmitted through a probabilistic \emph{deletion channel} which independently deletes each bit with some fixed probability $\delta$ and concatenates…
The coded trace reconstruction problem asks to construct a code $C\subset \{0,1\}^n$ such that any $x\in C$ is recoverable from independent outputs ("traces") of $x$ from a binary deletion channel (BDC). We present binary codes of rate…
In the trace reconstruction problem, the goal is to reconstruct an unknown string $x$ of length $n$ from multiple traces obtained by passing $x$ through the deletion channel. In the relaxed problem of $approximate$ trace reconstruction, the…
