We examine the number T of queries that a quantum network requires to compute several Boolean functions on f0;1gN in the black-box model. We show that, in the blackbox model, the ...

We prove a lower bound for swapping the order of Arthur and Merlin in two-round MerlinArthur games using black-box techniques. Namely, we show that any AM-game requires time (t2 )...
In content networks, a replication group refers to a set of nodes that cooperate with each other to retrieve information objects from a distant server. Each node locally replicates...

A generative probabilistic model for objects in images is presented. An object consists of a constellation of features. Feature appearance and pose are modeled probabilistically. ...
Heuristics are an increasingly popular solution method for combinatorial optimization problems. Heuristic use often frees the modeler from some of the restrictions placed on class...
