A regular tree language L is locally testable if membership of a tree in L depends only on the presence or absence of some fix set of neighborhoods in the tree. In this paper we show that it is decidable whether a regular tree language is…
In a {\em locally recoverable} or {\em repairable} code, any symbol of a codeword can be recovered by reading only a small (constant) number of other symbols. The notion of local recoverability is important in the area of distributed…
A robust Gray code, formally introduced by (Lolck and Pagh, SODA 2024), is a Gray code that additionally has the property that, given a noisy version of the encoding of an integer $j$, it is possible to reconstruct $\hat{j}$ so that $|j -…
Distributional assumptions have been shown to be necessary for the robust learnability of concept classes when considering the exact-in-the-ball robust risk and access to random examples by Gourdeau et al. (2019). In this paper, we study…
We introduce a novel family of expander-based error correcting codes. These codes can be sampled with randomness linear in the block-length, and achieve list-decoding capacity (among other local properties). Our expander-based codes can be…
We propose locally rewritable codes (LWC) for resistive memories inspired by locally repairable codes (LRC) for distributed storage systems. Small values of repair locality of LRC enable fast repair of a single failed node since the lost…
The lefthanded Lov\'asz local lemma (LLLL) is a generalization of the Lov\'asz local lemma (LLL), a powerful technique from the probabilistic method. We prove a computable version of the LLLL and use it to effectivize a collection of…
Methods to certify the robustness of neural networks in the presence of input uncertainty are vital in safety-critical settings. Most certification methods in the literature are designed for adversarial input uncertainty, but researchers…
We initiate the study of what we term ``fast good codes'' with ``fast good duals.'' Specifically, we consider the task of constructing a rate 1/2 binary linear code such that both it and its dual are asymptotically good (in fact, have…
Tensor-network codes enable the construction of large stabilizer codes out of tensors describing smaller stabilizer codes. An application of tensor-network codes was an efficient and exact decoder for holographic codes. Here, we show how to…
The Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma is a very powerful tool in probabilistic combinatorics, that is often used to prove existence of combinatorial objects satisfying certain constraints. Moser and Tardos have shown that the LLL gives more than just…
Many proofs in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science are based on the probabilistic method. To prove the existence of a good object, we pick a random object and show that it is bad with low probability. This method is…
X-codes form a special class of linear maps which were originally introduced for data compression in VLSI testing and are also known to give special parity-check matrices for linear codes suitable for error-erasure channels. In the context…
An $[n,k]$ code $\mathcal{C}$ is said to be locally recoverable in the presence of a single erasure, and with locality parameter $r$, if each of the $n$ code symbols of $\mathcal{C}$ can be recovered by accessing at most $r$ other code…
Raw lines of code (LOC) is a metric that does not, at first glance, seem extremely useful for automated test generation. It is both highly language-dependent and not extremely meaningful, semantically, within a language: one coder can…
In this work it is shown that locally repairable codes (LRCs) can be list-decoded efficiently beyond the Johnson radius for a large range of parameters by utilizing the local error-correction capabilities. The corresponding decoding radius…
Tanner codes are long error correcting codes obtained from short codes and a graph, with bits on the edges and parity-check constraints from the short codes enforced at the vertices of the graph. Combining good short codes together with a…
We introduce a family of balanced locally repairable codes (BLRCs) $[n, k, d]$ for arbitrary values of $n$, $k$ and $d$. Similar to other locally repairable codes (LRCs), the presented codes are suitable for applications that require a low…
The density band model proposed by Kassam for robust hypothesis testing is revisited in this paper. First, a novel criterion for the general characterization of least favorable distributions is proposed, which unifies existing results. This…
We consider rate R = k/n causal linear codes that map a sequence of k-dimensional binary vectors {b_t} to a sequence of n-dimensional binary vectors {c_t}, such that each c_t is a function of {b_1,b_2,...,b_t}. Such a code is called anytime…
