One method of viral marketing involves seeding certain consumers within a population to encourage faster adoption of the product throughout the entire population. However, determi...
Current constructions of efficient argument systems combine a short (polynomial size) PCP with a cryptographic hashing technique. We suggest an alternative approach for this probl...
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) provides a lower rank approximation of a matrix. Due to nonnegativity imposed on the factors, it gives a latent structure that is often mor...
We present DL8, an exact algorithm for finding a decision tree that optimizes a ranking function under size, depth, accuracy and leaf constraints. Because the discovery of optimal...
Point-based surface processing has developed into an attractive alternative to mesh-based processing techniques for a number of geometric modeling applications. By working with po...
