Motivated by the optimality of Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) for mean response time, in recent years many computer systems have used the heuristic of "favoring sm...
We use the concept of conditional mutual information (MI) to approach problems involving the selection of variables in the area of medical diagnosis. Computing MI requires estimate...
A q query Locally Decodable Code (LDC) encodes an n-bit message x as an N-bit codeword C(x), such that one can probabilistically recover any bit xi of the message by querying only...
We study the effect of information overload on user engagement in an asymmetric social network like Twitter. We introduce simple game-theoretic models that capture rate competition...

We consider the problem of updating nonmonotonic knowledge bases represented by epistemic logic programs where disjunctive information and notions of knowledge and beliefs can be ...
