Proceedings ArticleDOI
A theory of the learnable
TL;DR: This paper regards learning as the phenomenon of knowledge acquisition in the absence of explicit programming, and gives a precise methodology for studying this phenomenon from a computational viewpoint.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bridging model for parallel computation
TL;DR: The bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model is introduced as a candidate for this role, and results quantifying its efficiency both in implementing high-level language features and algorithms, as well as in being implemented in hardware.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complexity of computing the permanent
TL;DR: It is shown that the permanent function of (0, 1)-matrices is a complete problem for the class of counting problems associated with nondeterministic polynomial time computations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complexity of enumeration and reliability problems
TL;DR: For a large number of natural counting problems for which there was no previous indication of intractability, that they belong to the class of computationally eqivalent counting problems that are at least as difficult as the NP-complete problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Random generation of combinatorial structures from a uniform
TL;DR: It is shown that exactly uniform generation of ‘efficiently verifiable’ combinatorial structures is reducible to approximate counting (and hence, is within the third level of the polynomial hierarchy).
