High-dimensional data are ubiquitous, with examples ranging from natural images to scientific datasets, and often reside near low-dimensional manifolds. Leveraging this geometric structure is vital for downstream tasks, including signal…

Agnostic learning of Boolean halfspaces is a fundamental problem in computational learning theory, but it is known to be computationally hard even for weak learning. Recent work [CKKMK24] proposed smoothed analysis as a way to bypass such…

Point spread function (PSF) engineering is vital for precisely controlling the focus of light in computational imaging, with applications in neural imaging, fluorescence microscopy, and biophotonics. The PSF is derived from the magnitude of…

The two-way capacities of quantum channels determine the ultimate entanglement and secret-key distribution rates achievable by two distant parties that are connected by a noisy transmission line, in absence of quantum repeaters. Since…

Recent studies found that many channels are affected by additive noise that is impulsive in nature and is best explained by heavy-tailed symmetric alpha-stable distributions. Dealing with impulsive noise environments comes with an added…

The approximate degree of a Boolean function $f\colon\{0,1\}^n\to\{0,1\}$ is the minimum degree of a real polynomial $p$ that approximates $f$ pointwise: $|f(x)-p(x)|\leq1/3$ for all $x\in\{0,1\}^n.$ For every $\delta>0,$ we construct CNF…

We give the first polynomial time and sample $(\epsilon, \delta)$-differentially private (DP) algorithm to estimate the mean, covariance and higher moments in the presence of a constant fraction of adversarial outliers. Our algorithm…

We revisit the task of releasing marginal queries under differential privacy with additive (correlated) Gaussian noise. We first give a construction for answering arbitrary workloads of weighted marginal queries, over arbitrary domains. Our…

We prove that, unless P=NP, there is no polynomial-time algorithm to approximate within some multiplicative constant the average size of an independent set in graphs of maximum degree 6. This is a special case of a more general result for…

As a fundamental information fusion approach, the arithmetic average (AA) fusion has recently been investigated for various random finite set (RFS) filter fusion in the context of multi-sensor multi-target tracking. It is not a…

Although the known maximum total generalized correntropy (MTGC) and generalized maximum blakezisserman total correntropy (GMBZTC) algorithms can maintain good performance under the errors-in-variables (EIV) model disrupted by generalized…

We study the problem of estimating a monotone function $f:\{0,1\}^d\to[0,1]$ from noisy observations at uniformly random vertices of the Boolean hypercube. As a measure of complexity for the target~$f$, we use the total $L^1$-influence…

Sensitivity conjecture is a longstanding and fundamental open problem in the area of complexity measures of Boolean functions and decision tree complexity. The conjecture postulates that the maximum sensitivity of a Boolean function is…

The matched filter (MF) represents one of the main tools to detect signals from known sources embedded in the noise. In the Gaussian case the noise is assumed to be the realization of a Gaussian random field (GRF). The most important…

Let $T_{\epsilon}$ be the noise operator acting on functions on the boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$. Let $f$ be a nonnegative function on $\{0,1\}^n$ and let $q \ge 1$. We upper bound the $\ell_q$ norm of $T_{\epsilon} f$ by the average $\ell_q$…

We study the average case approximation of the Boolean mean by quantum algorithms. We prove general query lower bounds for classes of probability measures on the set of inputs. We pay special attention to two probabilities, where we show…

In a recent breakthrough, [Bshouty et al., 2005] obtained the first passive-learning algorithm for DNFs under the uniform distribution. They showed that DNFs are learnable in the Random Walk and Noise Sensitivity models. We extend their…

We give a highly efficient "semi-agnostic" algorithm for learning univariate probability distributions that are well approximated by piecewise polynomial density functions. Let $p$ be an arbitrary distribution over an interval $I$ which is…

Let $T_{\epsilon}$, $0 \le \epsilon \le 1/2$, be the noise operator acting on functions on the boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$. Let $f$ be a nonnegative function on $\{0,1\}^n$ and let $q \ge 1$. In arXiv:1809.09696 the $\ell_q$ norm of…

This paper makes two contributions towards determining some well-studied optimal constants in Fourier analysis \newa{of Boolean functions} and high-dimensional geometry. \begin{enumerate} \item It has been known since 1994 \cite{GL:94} that…
