We prove that the hit-and-run random walk is rapidly mixing for an arbitrary logconcave distribution starting from any point in the support. This extends the work of [26], where t...
This paper describes and evaluates an efficient technique that allows the fast generation of 3D triangular meshes from range images avoiding optimization procedures. Such a tool ...
Abstract--Randomization is a general technique for evaluating the significance of data analysis results. In randomizationbased significance testing, a result is considered to be in...
Abstract. We present a fast spectral graph drawing algorithm for drawing undirected connected graphs. Classical Multi-Dimensional Scaling yields a quadratictime spectral algorithm,...
Random sampling is a well-known technique for approximate processing of large datasets. We introduce a set of algorithms for incremental maintenance of large random samples on seco...
