We give polynomial time computable extractors for low-weight affince sources. A distribution is affine if it samples a random points from some unknown low dimensional subspace of ...
Many systems for tasks such as question answering, multi-document summarization, and information retrieval need robust numerical measures of lexical relatedness. Standard thesauru...
Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) are a type of probability model over the Boolean cube {-1, 1}n that have recently received much attention. We establish the intractability of ...
Abstract. We propose a dynamic process for network evolution, aiming at explaining the emergence of the small world phenomenon, i.e., the statistical observation that any pair of i...

Abstract. We consider random tries and random patricia trees constructed from n independent strings of symbols drawn from any distribution on any discrete space. We show that many ...
