We consider the following marking process (rw-rand) made by a random walk on an undirected graph G. Upon arrival at a vertex v, it marks v if unmarked and otherwise it marks a ran...

A broad class of boosting algorithms can be interpreted as performing coordinate-wise gradient descent to minimize some potential function of the margins of a data set. This class...
We prove that for any positive integer k, there is a constant ck such that a randomly selected set of cknk log n Boolean vectors with high probability supports a balanced k-wise i...
For many probability distributions of interest, it is quite difficult to obtain samples efficiently. Often, Markov chains are employed to obtain approximately random samples fro...
Decentralized peer to peer (p2p) networks like Gnutella are attractive for certain applications because they require no centralized directories and no precise control over network ...
