Abstract. The distributed complexity of computing a maximal independent set in a graph is of both practical and theoretical importance. While there exists an elegant O(log n) time ...

We prove that perfect distributions exist when using a finite number of bits to represent the parameters of a Bayesian network. In addition, we provide an upper bound on the prob...
We present a novel boosting algorithm, called SoftBoost, designed for sets of binary labeled examples that are not necessarily separable by convex combinations of base hypotheses....

Abstract. We consider the problem of finding shortest paths in a graph with independent randomly distributed edge lengths. Our goal is to maximize the probability that the path len...

We present a probabilistic analysis of integer linear programs (ILPs). More specifically, we study ILPs in a so-called smoothed analysis in which it is assumed that first an adve...
