Strings with Maximally Many Distinct Subsequences and Substrings
A natural problem in extremal combinatorics is to maximize the number of distinct subsequences for any length-n string over a finite alphabet ; this value grows exponentially, but...

The average-case complexity of counting distinct elements
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...

Segmentation of Distinct Homogeneous Color Regions in Images
Abstract. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm to detect homogeneous color regions in images. We show its performance by applying it to skin detection. In contrast to previo...

On Modeling Profiles Instead of Values
We consider the problem of estimating the distribution underlying an observed sample of data. Instead of maximum likelihood, which maximizes the probability of the observed values...
