In the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem there are k distributions associated with the rewards of playing each of k strategies (slot machine arms). The reward distributions are ini...
Abstract. Dealing with heterogeneous ontologies by means of semantic mappings has become an important area of research and a number of systems for discovering mappings between onto...
Secure multi-party computation (MPC) is a central problem in cryptography. Unfortunately, it is well known that MPC is possible if and only if the underlying communication network...
Packet delay and loss are two fundamental measures of performance. Using active probing to measure delay and loss typically involves sending Poisson probes, on the basis of the PA...
coarse procedures or very abstract frames from the point of view of algorithm, because some crucial issues like the representation, evolution, storage, and learning process of conc...
