Many large-scale Web applications that require ranked top-k retrieval are implemented using inverted indices. An inverted index represents a sparse term-document matrix, where non...

We present a number of positive and negative results for variants of the matroid secretary problem. Most notably, we design a constant-factor competitive algorithm for the “rando...
A greedy-based approach to learn a compact and discriminative dictionary for sparse representation is presented. We propose an objective function consisting of two components: ent...
We consider symbolic dynamic programming (SDP) for solving Markov Decision Processes (MDP) with factored state and action spaces, where both states and actions are described by se...

We introduce a new approach to image reconstruction from highly incomplete data. The available data are assumed to be a small collection of spectral coef?cients of an arbitrary li...
