A key challenge for dynamic Web service selection is that Web services are typically highly configurable and service requesters often have dynamic preferences on service configura...
We present a probabilistic analysis for a large class of combinatorial optimization problems containing, e.g., all binary optimization problems defined by linear constraints and a...
We prove a version of the derandomized Direct Product lemma for deterministic space-bounded algorithms. Suppose a Boolean function g : {0, 1}n {0, 1} cannot be computed on more th...
In recent years the Markov Random Field (MRF) has
become the de facto probabilistic model for low-level vision
applications. However, in a maximum a posteriori
(MAP) framework, ...

We study the task of randomness extraction from sources which are distributed uniformly on an unknown algebraic variety. In other words, we are interested in constructing a functi...
