We prove that the hit-and-run random walk is rapidly mixing for an arbitrary logconcave distribution starting from any point in the support. This extends the work of [26], where t...
Physical synthesis tools are responsible for achieving timing closure. Starting with 130nm designs, multiple cycles are required to cross the chip, making latch placement critical...

The H.264/ACV standard provides significant improvements in performance over earlier video coding standards at the cost of increased complexity. Our challenge is to determine H.26...

This paper proposes a framework that provides significant speed-ups and also improves the effectiveness of general message passing algorithms based on dual LP relaxations. It is ap...
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...
