Group testing: an information theory perspective

M Aldridge, O Johnson, J Scarlett - Foundations and Trends® …, 2019 - nowpublishers.com
The group testing problem concerns discovering a small number of defective items within a
large population by performing tests on pools of items. A test is positive if the pool contains …

Optimal group testing

In the group testing problem, which goes back to the work of Dorfman (1943), we aim to
identify a small set of $ k\sim n^\theta $ infected individuals out of a population size $ n …

Statistical and computational phase transitions in group testing

A Coja-Oghlan, O Gebhard… - … on Learning Theory, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press

Group testing for connected communities

P Nikolopoulos… - International …, 2021 - proceedings.mlr.press
In this paper, we propose algorithms that leverage a known community structure to make
group testing more efficient. We consider a population organized in disjoint communities …

group testing more efficient. We consider a population organized in connected communities …

Community-aware group testing

P Nikolopoulos, SR Srinivasavaradhan… - IEEE Transactions …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Group testing is a technique that can reduce the number of tests needed to identify infected
members in a population, by pooling together multiple diagnostic samples. Despite the …

Noisy non-adaptive group testing: A (near-) definite defectives approach

J Scarlett, O Johnson - IEEE Transactions on Information …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The group testing problem consists of determining a small set of defective items from a
larger set of items based on a number of possibly-noisy tests, and is relevant in applications …

Phase transitions in the mini-batch size for sparse and dense two-layer neural networks

[HTML][HTML] Group testing with a graph infection spread model

B Arasli, S Ulukus - Information, 2023 - mdpi.com
The group testing idea is an efficient infection identification approach based on pooling the
test samples of a group of individuals, which results in identification with less number of tests …
