Abstract— Motivated by applications in cryptography, we consider a generalization of randomness extraction and the related notion of privacy amplification to the case of two cor...
Abstract— A number of recent results on optimization problems involving submodular functions have made use of the ”multilinear relaxation” of the problem [3], [8], [24], [14]...
Abstract— We consider the problem of estimating cascaded aggregates over a matrix presented as a sequence of updates in a data stream. A cascaded aggregate P ◦Q is defined by ...
Abstract— Thorup and Zwick, in their seminal work, introduced the approximate distance oracle, which is a data structure that answers distance queries in a graph. For any integer...
Abstract—The ability to filter improper content from multimedia sources based on visual content has important applications, since text-based filters are clearly insufficient a...
