Probabilistic proof systems (eg PCPs and IPs) have had a tremendous impact on theoretical computer science, as well as on real-world secure systems. They underlie delegation of computation protocols and hardness of approximation. This course covers the fou ...
We will give an overview of the field of Artificial Life (Alife). We study questions such as emergence of complexity, self-reproduction, evolution, both through concrete models and through mathematical results. We will describe some of the most influential ...
Probabilistic proof system (eg PCPs and IPs) have had a tremendous impact on the theoretical computer science, and have also found practical uses. They underlie delegation of computation protocols and hardness of approximation. This course covers the found ...
