CS 369 E : Communication Complexity ( for Algorithm Designers ) Lecture # 9 : Lower Bounds in Property Testing ∗
We first give a brief introduction to the field of property testing. Section 3 gives upper bounds for the canonical property of “monotonicity testing,” and Section 4 shows how to derive property testing lower bounds from communication complexity lower bounds. We won’t need to develop any new communication complexity; our existing toolbox (specifically, Disjointness) is already rich enough to de...
متن کاملCS 369 E : Communication Complexity ( for Algorithm Designers ) Lecture # 8 : Lower Bounds in Property Testing ∗
We begin in this section with a brief introduction to the field of property testing. Section 2 explains the famous example of “linearity testing.” Section 3 gives upper bounds for the canonical problem of “monotonicity testing,” and Section 4 shows how to derive property testing lower bounds from communication complexity lower bounds. These lower bounds will follow from our existing communicati...
متن کاملLecture Notes for Testing Properties of Distributions
We provide an introduction to the study of testing properties of distributions, where the tester obtains samples of an unknown distribution (resp., samples from several unknown distributions) and is required to determine whether the distribution (resp., the tuple of distributions) has some predetermined property. We focus on the problems of testing whether an unknown distribution equals a fixed...
متن کاملTesting by Implicit Learning: A Brief Survey
We give a high-level survey of the “testing by implicit learning” paradigm, and explain some of the property testing results for various Boolean function classes that have been obtained using this approach.
متن کاملAdvanced Algorithms Lecture Notes
Preface This is a set of lecture notes for the 3rd year course " Advanced Algorithms " which I gave in Tsinghua University for Yao-class students in the Spring and Fall terms in 2011. This set of notes is partially based on the notes scribed by students taking the course the first time it was given. Many thanks to Xiahong Hao and Nathan Hobbs for their hard work in critically revising, editing,...
