Gate elimination is the primary technique for proving explicit lower bounds against general Boolean circuits, including Li and Yang's state-of-the-art $3.1n - o(n)$ bound for affine dispersers (STOC 2…
We study the Max-Cut semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation in the regime where a near-optimal solution admits a low-dimensional realization. While the Goemans--Williamson hyperplane rounding achie…
Covert wireless communication aims to establish a reliable link while hiding the transmission from an adversary. In wireless settings, uncertainty plays a central role in this tradeoff: it can help ma…
Existing methods for detection rule generation are tightly coupled to specific input-output combinations, requiring dedicated pipelines for each. We formalize this problem as a unified mapping f:C*L->…
Max-Cut is a classical graph-partitioning problem where given a graph $G = (V,E)$, the objective is to find a cut $(S,S^c)$ which maximizes the number of edges crossing the cut. In a seminal work, Goe…
In Milner's seminal book on communication and concurrency introducing CCS, a process algebra inherently non-deterministic, chapter 11 was completely devoted to introduce the notion of determinacy and …
We propose a novel extension of the Bradley-Terry model to multiplayer games and adapt a recent algorithm by Newman [1] to our model. We demonstrate the use of our proposed method on synthetic dataset…
This paper investigates how generative AI produces and propagates hallucinated academic references, focusing on the recurring non-existent citation 'Education Governance and Datafication' attributed t…
We present novel randomized approximation schemes for the Edit Distance (ED) problem and the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem that, for any constant $\epsilon>0$, compute a $(1+\epsilon)$-appr…
Part I of this series (arXiv:2602.09029) establishes a sharp Gaussian (LAN/GDP) limit theory for neighboring shuffle experiments in the fixed full-support regime. Part II (arXiv:2603.10073) identifies…
We study algorithmic barriers to detecting and repairing a systematic form of structural overspecification in adaptive data-structure selection. An input instance induces an implied workload signature…
Within the Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding (GRAND) family, ordered reliability bits GRAND (ORBGRAND) has received considerable attention for its hardware-friendly exploitation of soft informat…
The Calisson puzzle is a tiling puzzle in which one must tile a triangular grid inside a hexagon with lozenges, under the constraint that certain prescribed edges remain tile boundaries and that adjac…
Towards better understanding of gate elimination, the only method known that can prove complexity lower bounds for explicit functions against unrestricted Boolean circuits, this work contributes: (1) …
We give new algorithms for tree evaluation (S. Cook et al. TOCT 2012) in the catalytic-computing model (Buhrman et al. STOC 2014). Two existing approaches aim to solve tree evaluation in low space: on…
Performance antipatterns are known to degrade the responsiveness of microservice-based systems, but their impact on energy consumption remains largely unexplored. This paper empirically investigates w…
This paper argues that large ML conferences should allocate marginal review capacity primarily to papers near the acceptance boundary, rather than spreading extra reviews via random or affinity-driven…
In the Cover Small Cuts problem, we are given a capacitated (undirected) graph $G=(V,E,u)$ and a threshold value $\lambda$, as well as a set of links $L$ with end-nodes in $V$ and a non-negative cost …
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) implicitly aggregates heterogeneous human preferences into a single utility function, even though the underlying utilities of the participants are in …
We show that for $q$-colorings in $k$-uniform hypergraphs with maximum degree $\Delta$, if $k\ge 50$ and $q\ge 700\Delta^{\frac{5}{k-10}}$, there is a "Lee-Yang" zero-free strip around the interval $[…
