Randomized algorithms

a function that, with a short truly random seed, turns a weakly random source with enough min-entropy into nearly uniform bits.

In randomized algorithms, randomness extractor refers to a function that, with a short truly random seed, turns a weakly random source with enough min-entropy into nearly uniform bits. This meaning comes from Nisan (1996) in Journal of Computer and System Sciences.[1]
