Inference under information constraints II: Communication constraints and shared randomness

J Acharya, CL Canonne, H Tyagi - IEEE Transactions on …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A central server needs to perform statistical inference based on samples that are distributed
over multiple users who can each send a message of limited length to the center. We study …

Monotone circuit lower bounds from resolution

A Garg, M Göös, P Kamath, D Sokolov - Proceedings of the 50th Annual …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
For any unsatisfiable CNF formula F that is hard to refute in the Resolution proof system, we
show that a gadget-composed version of F is hard to refute in any proof system whose lines …

Given an alphabet size m∈N thought of as a constant, and ⃗k=(k_1,...,k_m) whose entries
sum of up n, the ⃗k-multi-slice is the set of vectors x∈m^n in which each symbol i∈m …

Communication for generating correlation: A unifying survey

M Sudan, H Tyagi, S Watanabe - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The task of manipulating correlated random variables in a distributed setting has received

One-Message Secure Reductions: On the Cost of Converting Correlations

Y Ishai, M Kelkar, V Narayanan, L Zafar - Annual International Cryptology …, 2023 - Springer
Correlated secret randomness is a useful resource for secure computation protocols, often
enabling dramatic speedups compared to protocols in the plain model. This has motivated a …

An algebraic and probabilistic framework for network information theory

SS Pradhan, A Padakandla… - Foundations and Trends …, 2020 - nowpublishers.com

random structured codes, ie, codes possessing algebraic properties, for network information …

Non interactive simulation of correlated distributions is decidable

A De, E Mossel, J Neeman - Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Annual ACM …, 2018 - SIAM
A basic problem in information theory is the following: Let P=(X, Y) be an arbitrary
distribution where the marginals X and Y are (potentially) correlated. Let Alice and Bob be …

Secure non-interactive reduction and spectral analysis of correlations

P Agarwal, V Narayanan, S Pathak… - … Conference on the …, 2022 - Springer
Correlated pairs of random variables are a central concept in information-theoretically
secure cryptography. Secure reductions between different correlations have been studied …

Secure non-interactive reducibility is decidable

K Bhushan, AK Misra, V Narayanan… - Theory of Cryptography …, 2022 - Springer
Abstract Secure Non-Interactive Reductions (SNIR) is a recently introduced, but fundamental
cryptographic primitive. The basic question about SNIRs is how to determine if there is an …

Nonlocal games with noisy maximally entangled states are decidable

M Qin, P Yao - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2021 - SIAM
This paper considers a special class of nonlocal games (G,ψ), where G is a two-player one-
round game, and ψ is a bipartite state independent of G. In the game (G,ψ), the players are …
