Suppose we are given a sequence of n points in the Euclidean plane, and our objective is to construct, on-line, a connected graph that connects all of them, trying to minimize the...
In this paper we explore private computation built on vector addition and its applications in privacypreserving data mining. Vector addition is a surprisingly general tool for imp...
Selective sampling is a form of active learning which can reduce the cost of training by only drawing informative data points into the training set. This selected training set is ...
