Distributed networks are prone to errors so verifying their output is critical. Hence, we develop LOCAL certification protocols for graph properties in which nodes are given certificates that allow them to check whether their network as a…

Distribution testing deals with what information can be deduced about an unknown distribution over $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, where the algorithm is only allowed to obtain a relatively small number of independent samples from the distribution. In…

Evaluations of large-scale recognition methods typically focus on overall performance. While this approach is common, it often fails to provide insights into performance across individual classes, which can lead to fairness issues and…

Fixing $\beta \ge 0$ and an integer $q \ge 2$, consider the ferromagnetic $q$-Potts measures $\mu_n^{\beta,B}$ on finite graphs ${\sf G}_n$ on $n$ vertices, with external field strength $B \ge 0$ and the corresponding random cluster…

The framework of generalized probabilistic theories (GPT) is a widely-used approach for studying the physical foundations of quantum theory. The standard GPT framework assumes the no-restriction hypothesis, in which the state space of a…

In the subgraph-freeness problem, we are given a constant-size graph $H$, and wish to determine whether the network contains $H$ as a subgraph or not. The \emph{property-testing} relaxation of the problem only requires us to distinguish…

We initiate the study of quantum property testing in sparse directed graphs, and more particularly in the unidirectional model, where the algorithm is allowed to query only the outgoing edges of a vertex. In the classical unidirectional…

In this paper, we study the problem of testing the equality of two multivariate distributions. One class of tests used for this purpose utilizes geometric graphs constructed using inter-point distances. So far, the asymptotic theory of…

A graph property is a function $\Phi$ that maps every graph to {0, 1} and is invariant under isomorphism. In the $\#IndSub(\Phi)$ problem, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the task is to count the number of $k$-vertex induced subgraphs…

We revisit the relation between two fundamental property testing models for bounded-degree directed graphs: the bidirectional model in which the algorithms are allowed to query both the outgoing edges and incoming edges of a vertex, and the…

We propose to extend property-based testing to substructural logics to overcome the current lack of reasoning tools in the field. We take the first step by implementing a property-based testing system for specifications written in the…

We introduce a novel concept termed "stochastic distance" for property testing. Diverging from the traditional definition of distance, where a distance $t$ implies that there exist $t$ edges that can be added to ensure a graph possesses a…
