    The Average Sensitivity of an Intersection of Half Spaces

    Full text link
    We prove new bounds on the average sensitivity of the indicator function of an intersection of kk halfspaces. In particular, we prove the optimal bound of O(nlog(k))O(\sqrt{n\log(k)}). This generalizes a result of Nazarov, who proved the analogous result in the Gaussian case, and improves upon a result of Harsha, Klivans and Meka. Furthermore, our result has implications for the runtime required to learn intersections of halfspaces

    We devise a new pseudorandom generator against degree 2 polynomial threshold functions in the Gaussian setting. We manage to achieve ϵ\epsilon error with seed length polylogarithmic in ϵ\epsilon and the dimension, and exponential improvement over previous constructions

    A Pseudorandom Generator for Polynomial Threshold Functions of Gaussian with Subpolynomial Seed Length

    Get PDF
    We develop a pseudorandom generator that fools degree-dd polynomial threshold functions in nn variables with respect to the Gaussian distribution and has seed length Oc,d(log(n)ϵc)O_{c,d}(\log(n) \epsilon^{-c})

    A Small PRG for Polynomial Threshold Functions of Gaussians

    Full text link
    We develop a pseudo-random generator to fool degree-dd polynomial threshold functions with respect to the Gaussian distribution. For c>0c>0 any constant, we construct a pseudo-random generator that fools such functions to within ϵ\epsilon and has seed length log(n)2O(d)ϵ4c\log(n) 2^{O(d)} \epsilon^{-4-c}
