and a Random-Oracle Proof of Toda's Theorem

Lance Fortnow

Using the recent exponential correlation bounds of Chattopadhyay, Hatami, Lee, Lovett, Tal and Viola between -polynomials and the XOR of majorities, we show that $\ma…

How Does Machine Learning Manage Complexity?

Lance Fortnow

We provide a computational complexity lens to understand the power of machine learning models, particularly their ability to model complex systems. Machine learning models are ofte…

The CFG Complexity of Singleton Sets

Lance Fortnow, William Gasarch

Let G be a context-free grammar (CFG) in Chomsky normal form. We take the number of rules in G to be the size of G. We also assume all CFGs are in Chomsky normal form. We consider…

Compression Complexity

Stephen Fenner, Lance Fortnow

The Kolmogorov complexity of x, denoted C(x), is the length of the shortest program that generates x. For such a simple definition, Kolmogorov complexity has a rich and deep theory…

Multi-outcome and Multidimensional Market Scoring Rules

Lance Fortnow, Rahul Sami

Hanson's market scoring rules allow us to design a prediction market that still gives useful information even if we have an illiquid market with a limited number of budget-constrai…

Repeated Matching Pennies with Limited Randomness

Michele Budinich, Lance Fortnow

We consider a repeated Matching Pennies game in which players have limited access to randomness. Playing the (unique) Nash equilibrium in this n-stage game requires n random bits.…
