The breakthrough result of Chattopadhyay and Zuckerman [Explicit two-source extractors and resilient functions, in Proceedings of the 48th Annual ACM SIGACT Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC), ACM, 2016, pp. 670--683] gives a reduction from the construction of explicit two-source extractors to the construction of explicit nonmalleable extractors. However, even assuming the existence of optimal explicit nonmalleable extractors, we only obtain a two-source extractor for $\mathrm{poly}(\log n)$ entropy, rather than the optimal $O(\log n)$. In this paper we modify the construction to solve the above barrier. Using the currently best explicit nonmalleable extractors, we get explicit bipartite Ramsey graphs for sets of size $2^k$ for $k=O(\log n \frac{\log\log n}{\log\log\log n})$. Any further improvement in the construction of nonmalleable extractors would immediately yield a corresponding two-source extractor. Intuitively, Chattopadhyay and Zuckerman use an extractor as a sampler, and we observe that we could use a weaker object---a somewhere-random condenser with a small entropy gap and a very short seed. We also show how to explicitly construct this weaker object using the error reduction technique of Raz, Reingold, and Vadhan [Error reduction for extractors, in Proceedings of the 40th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS), IEEE, 1999, pp. 191--201], and the constant-degree dispersers of Zuckerman [Linear degree extractors and the inapproximability of max clique and chromatic number, in Proceedings of the Thirty-Eighth Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC), ACM, 2006, pp. 681--690] that also work against extremely small tests.
