The purpose of this note is to describe the underlying insights and results obtained by the authors, and others, in a series of papers aimed at modelling the distribution of `natu...
We study the problem of estimating the average of a Lipschitz continuous function f defined over a metric space, by querying f at only a single point. More specifically, we explore...
We consider the distributed computation of a function of random sources with minimal communication. Specifically, given two discrete memoryless sources, X and Y , a receiver wishe...
Consistent query answering is the term commonly used for the problem of answering queries on databases that violate certain integrity constraints. We address this problem for univ...
It is not an easy task to know a priori the most appropriate fuzzy sets that cover the domains of quantitative attributes for fuzzy association rules mining. In general, it is unre...
