A Boolean function $f({\vec x})$ is sensitive to bit $x_i$ if there is at least one input vector $\vec x$ and one bit $x_i$ in $\vec x$, such that changing $x_i$ changes $f$. A function has sensitivity $s$ if among all input vectors, the…

We present a regularity lemma for Boolean functions $f:\{-1,1\}^n \to \{-1,1\}$ based on noisy influence, a measure of how locally correlated $f$ is with each input bit. We provide an application of the regularity lemma to weaken the…

We study universal compression of sequences generated by monotonic distributions. We show that for a monotonic distribution over an alphabet of size $k$, each probability parameter costs essentially $0.5 \log (n/k^3)$ bits, where $n$ is the…
