Group testing: an information theory perspective

M Aldridge, O Johnson, J Scarlett - Foundations and Trends® …, 2019 - nowpublishers.com
The group testing problem concerns discovering a small number of defective items within a
large population by performing tests on pools of items. A test is positive if the pool contains …

Heavy hitters via cluster-preserving clustering

KG Larsen, J Nelson, HL Nguyễn… - Communications of the …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
We develop a new algorithm for the turnstile heavy hitters problem in general turnstile
streams, the EXPANDERSKETCH, which finds the approximate top-k items in a universe of …

Performance of group testing algorithms with near-constant tests per item

O Johnson, M Aldridge, J Scarlett - IEEE Transactions on …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the nonadaptive group testing with N items, of which K= Θ (N θ) are defective.
We study a test design in which each item appears in nearly the same number of tests. For …

Saffron: A fast, efficient, and robust framework for group testing based on sparse-graph codes

K Lee, K Chandrasekher, R Pedarsani… - IEEE Transactions …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Group testing is the problem of identifying K defective items among n items by pooling
groups of items. In this paper, we design group testing algorithms for approximate recovery …

Nearly optimal pseudorandomness from hardness

D Doron, D Moshkovitz, J Oh, D Zuckerman - Journal of the ACM, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Existing proofs that deduce BPP= P from circuit lower bounds convert randomized
algorithms into deterministic algorithms with a large polynomial slowdown. We convert …

On the optimality of the Kautz-Singleton construction in probabilistic group testing

HA Inan, P Kairouz, M Wootters… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the probabilistic group testing problem where d random defective items in a
large population of N items are identified with high probability by applying binary tests. It is …

Efficiently decodable error-correcting list disjunct matrices and applications

HQ Ngo, E Porat, A Rudra - … , ICALP 2011, Zurich, Switzerland, July 4-8 …, 2011 - Springer
Abstract A (d, ℓ)-list disjunct matrix is a non-adaptive group testing primitive which, given a
set of items with at most d “defectives,” outputs a superset of the defectives containing less …

Efficient algorithms for noisy group testing

S Cai, M Jahangoshahi, M Bakshi… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Group-testing refers to the problem of identifying (with high probability) a (small) subset of D
defectives from a (large) set of N items via a “small” number of “pooled” tests (ie, tests that …

Noisy non-adaptive group testing: A (near-) definite defectives approach

J Scarlett, O Johnson - IEEE Transactions on Information …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The group testing problem consists of determining a small set of defective items from a
larger set of items based on a number of possibly-noisy tests, and is relevant in applications …

Combinatorial group testing and sparse recovery schemes with near-optimal decoding time

In the long-studied problem of combinatorial group testing, one is asked to detect a set of k
defective items out of a population of size n, using m≪ n disjunctive measurements. In the …
