If you have a question about this talk, please contact Konstantina Palla.

I’ll discuss the Bernoulli factory problem, wherein, given access to i.i.d. p-coins for some unknown p, one is asked to produce i.i.d. f(p)-coins for a known function f. There are several connections with computable analysis that I’m hoping to point out.
