String Matching: Communication, Circuits, and Learning

Mika Tapani Göös

String matching is the problem of deciding whether a given n-bit string contains a given k-bit pattern. We study the complexity of this problem in three settings. - Communication complexity. For small k, we provide near-optimal upper and lower bounds on th ...

Traffic Locality as an Opportunity in the Data Center

Jonas Fietz

In large scale data centers, network infrastructure is becoming a major cost component; as a result, operators are trying to reduce expenses, and in particular lower the amount of hardware needed to achieve their performance goals (or to improve the perfor ...

An Introductory Guide to Fano's Inequality with Applications in Statistical Estimation

Jonathan Mark Scarlett

Information theory plays an indispensable role in the development of algorithm-independent impossibility results, both for communication problems and for seemingly distinct areas such as statistics and machine learning. While numerous information-theoretic ...
