We analyze help-seeking strategies in two large tech support boards and observe a number of previously unreported differences between tech support boards and other types of online...
The sequential importance sampling (SIS) algorithm has gained considerable popularity for its empirical success. One of its noted applications is to the binary contingency tables p...
Lower envelopes are fundamental structures in computational geometry, which have many applications, such as computing general Voronoi diagrams and performing hidden surface removal...
Abstract. We present an asymptotically optimal reduction of one-outof-two String Oblivious Transfer to one-out-of-two Bit Oblivious Transfer using Interactive Hashing in conjunctio...
Model selection is important in many areas of supervised learning. Given a dataset and a set of models for predicting with that dataset, we must choose the model which is expected...
