Abstract. Suppose one has access to oracles generating samples from two unknown probability distributions p and q on some N-element set. How many samples does one need to test whet...
Recent work on geometric vision problems has exploited convexity properties in order to obtain globally optimal solutions. In this paper we give an overview of these developments a...
A coloring of a graph is convex if it induces a partition of the vertices into connected subgraphs. Besides being an interesting property from a theoretical point of view, tests f...
We consider the Edit distance with moves on the class of words and the class of ordered trees. We first exhibit a simple tester for the class of regular languages on words and gen...
We introduce the notion of a Canonical Tester for a class of properties on distributions, that is, a tester strong and general enough that “a distribution property in the class ...
