The problems studied include \nk-distinctness\, image size testing\, k-junta testing\, approximating\ns tatistical distance\, approximating Shannon entropy\, and\nsurjectivity. ​ Paper available at https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.09079.\nThis is joint wo rk with Mark Bun and Justin Thaler.\n DTSTAMP:20250903T022623Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
