Property Testing [Goldreich, Goldwasser, Ron, Rubinfeld, Sudan] Randomized algorithm Property tester YES YES Accept with probability Accept with probability Don’t care -far No No Reject with probability Reject with probability -far : fraction has to be changed to become YES
Property Testing [Goldreich, Goldwasser, Ron, Rubinfeld, Sudan] Property = set of YES instances Query complexity of testing • = Adaptive queries • = Non-adaptive (all queries at once) • = Queries in rounds () For error :
Communication Complexity [Yao’79] Shared randomness Bob: Alice: … • = min. communication (error ) • min. -round communication (error )

Specialized Communication Direct Sums Information cost Communication complexity • [Bar Yossef, Jayram, Kumar,Sivakumar’01] Disjointness • Stronger direct sum for Equality-type problems (a.k.a. “union bound is optimal”) [Molinaro, Woodruff, Y.’13] • Bounds for , (-Set Intersection) via Information Theory [Brody, Chakrabarty, Kondapally, Woodruff, Y.’13]
Direct Sums in Property Testing [Woodruff, Y.] • Testing linearity: is linear if • Equality: decide whether • is linear • is ¼ -far from linear
Direct Sums in Property Testing [Woodruff, Y.] • = = (matching [Blum, Luby, Rubinfeld]) • Strong Direct Sum for Equality[MWY’13]Strong Direct Sum for Testing Linearity
