We introduce a variant of Aldous and Vazirani's \Go with the winners" algorithm that can be used for search graphs that are not trees. We analyze the algorithm in terms ...
An O(log n) time, n processor randomized algorithm for computing the k-nearest neighbor graph of n points in d dimensions, for fixed d and k is presented. The method is based on t...
A lower bound on the minimum mean-squared error (MSE) in a Bayesian estimation problem is proposed in this paper. This bound utilizes a well-known connection to the deterministic e...
In this paper we develop models for and analyze several randomized work stealing algorithms in a dynamic setting. Our models represent the limiting behavior of systems as the numb...
This paper addresses the fundamental problem of document classification, and we focus attention on classification problems where the classes are mutually exclusive. In the course ...
