Link spam deliberately manipulates hyperlinks between web pages in order to unduly boost the search engine ranking of one or more target pages. Link based ranking algorithms such ...
Jim Propp's rotor router model is a deterministic analogue of a random walk on a graph. Instead of distributing chips randomly, each vertex serves its neighbors in a fixed or...

We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Markov random field (MRF) models, including conditional random field models, are popular in computer vision. However, in order to be computationally tractable, they are limited to ...
We give two time- and space-efficient simulations of quantum computations with intermediate measurements, one by classical randomized computations with unbounded error and the oth...
