A Geometric Approach to Lower Bounds for Approximate Near-Neighbor Search and Partial Match
This work investigates a geometric approach to proving cell probe lower bounds for data structure problems. We consider the approximate nearest neighbor search problem on the Bool...

Concentration Bounds for Unigrams Language Model
Abstract. We show several PAC-style concentration bounds for learning unigrams language model. One interesting quantity is the probability of all words appearing exactly k times in...
