Guessing with a Bit of Help [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 What is the value of just a few bits to a guesser? We study this problem in a setup where Alice wishes to guess an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random vector and can procure a fixed number of k information bits from Bob, who has observed this vector through a memoryless channel.
