We prove and extend a conjecture of Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos (KKT) on the spread of influence in social networks. A social network can be represented by a directed graph where...
Computing statistical information on probabilistic data has attracted a lot of attention recently, as the data generated from a wide range of data sources are inherently fuzzy or ...
Suppose we have a large table T of items i, each with a weight wi, e.g., people and their salary. In a general preprocessing step for estimating arbitrary subset sums, we assign e...

We present a simple and practical algorithm for the c-approximate near neighbor problem (c-NN): given n points P Rd and radius R, build a data structure which, given q Rd , can ...
Sensor networks are ideal candidates for applications such as target tracking and environment monitoring. Security in sensor networks is critical when there are potential adversar...
