Random Spanning Trees and the Prediction of Weighted Graphs
We show that the mistake bound for predicting the nodes of an arbitrary weighted graph is characterized (up to logarithmic factors) by the cutsize of a random spanning tree of the...

Wait-free consensus with infinite arrivals
A randomized algorithm is given that solves the wait-free consensus problem for a shared-memory model with infinitely many processes. The algorithm is based on a weak shared coin ...

Uncovering the Temporal Dynamics of Diffusion Networks
Time plays an essential role in the diffusion of information, influence and disease over networks. In many cases we only observe when a node copies information, makes a decision ...
