Internet search companies sell advertisement slots based on users’ search queries via an auction. Advertisers have to solve a complex optimization problem of how to place bids o...
While it is exponentially unlikely that a sparse random graph or hypergraph is connected, with probability 1 − o(1) such a graph has a “giant component” that, given its numbe...
A new, general approach is described for approximate inference in first-order probabilistic languages, using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques in the space of concrete po...
Abstract. This paper reports on the improved and multiple linear cryptanalysis of reduced round Serpent by mean of a branch-and-bound characteristic search within the algorithm. We...
This work focuses on the convergence analysis of adaptive distributed beamforming schemes that can be reformulated as local random search algorithms via a random search framework....
