: We initiate the study of local, sublinear time algorithms for finding vertices with extreme topological properties -- such as high degree or clustering coefficient -- in large so...
The min-sum k-clustering problem is to partition a metric space (P, d) into k clusters C1, . . . , Ck ⊆ P such that k i=1 p,q∈Ci d(p, q) is minimized. We show the first effi...
— This work deals with a group of mobile sensors sampling a spatiotemporal random field whose mean is unknown and covariance is known up to a scaling parameter. The Bayesian pos...
In this paper, we present a general data clustering algorithm which is based on the asymmetric pairwise measure of Markov random walk hitting time on directed graphs. Unlike tradi...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
