Estimating the unseen: A sublinear-sample canonical estimator of distributions
We introduce a new approach to characterizing the unobserved portion of a distribution, which provides sublinear-sample additive estimators for a class of properties that includes...

A Probabilistic Approach to Problems Parameterized above or below Tight Bounds
We introduce a new approach for establishing fixed-parameter tractability of problems parameterized above tight lower bounds or below tight upper bounds. To illustrate the approac...

Distributed spatio-temporal similarity search
In this paper we introduce the distributed spatio-temporal similarity search problem: given a query trajectory Q, we want to find the trajectories that follow a motion similar to ...

An Improved Sphere-Packing Bound for Finite-Length Codes Over Symmetric Memoryless Channels
This paper derives an improved sphere-packing (ISP) bound for finite-length error-correcting codes whose transmission takes place over symmetric memoryless channels, and the codes...
