We consider the problem of maximizing welfare when allocating m items to n players with subadditive utility functions. Our main result is a way of rounding any fractional solution...
ded abstract of this paper is to appear in Advances in Cryptology—CRYPTO 2004, Springer-Verlag. We construct a short group signature scheme. Signatures in our scheme are approxi...
Abstract. An important task in many scientific and engineering disciplines is to set up experiments with the goal of finding the best instances (substances, compositions, designs) ...
We study convergence properties of empirical minimization of a stochastic strongly convex objective, where the stochastic component is linear. We show that the value attained by t...
Calculation of object similarity, for example through a distance function, is a common part of data mining and machine learning algorithms. This calculation is crucial for efficie...
