| | With Alexandros Eskenazis we posted a paper on arxiv "Learning low-degree functions from a logarithmic number of random queries" exponentially improving randomized query complexity for low degree functions. Perhaps a very basic question one asks in learning theory is as follows: there is an unknown function $latex f : \{-1,1\}^{n} \to \mathbb{R}$, and we are...

| | The classic Busy Beaver function is defined as the maximum number of steps that an N-state 2-color Turing machine program can run before halting when started on the blank tape. The function is uncomputable, and any sound proof system S can only prove values up to a certain point. That is, there is some number Q such that

| | Decidability Versus Efficiency In the early days of computing theory, the important questions were primarily about decidability. What sorts of problems are beyond the power of a Turing machine to solve? As we saw in our last primer on Turing machines, the halting problem is such an example: it can never be solved a finite amount of time by a Turing machine. However, more recently (in the past half-century) the focus of computing theory has shifted away from possibility in favor of determining feasibility.
