Suppose you ran a chess tournament, everybody played everybody, and you wanted to use the results to rank everybody. Unless you were really lucky, the results would not be acyclic...
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...
Static program checking tools can find many serious bugs in software, but due to analysis limitations they also frequently emit false error reports. Such false positives can easi...

—This paper studies the tradeoff between channel coding and ARQ (automatic repeat request) in Rayleigh blockfading channels. A heavily coded system corresponds to a low transmiss...
Confidence-Weighted linear classifiers (CW) and its successors were shown to perform well on binary and multiclass NLP problems. In this paper we extend the CW approach for sequen...
