In this paper, we prove lower bounds on the competitive ratio of randomized algorithms for two on-line problems: the k-server problem, suggested by [MMS], and an on-line motion-pl...
Test campaigns usually require only a restricted subset of paths in a program to be thoroughly tested. As random testing (RT) offers interesting fault-detection capacities at low ...
In this abstract, we provide an overview of our survey of randomized techniques for exploiting the parallelism in string matching problems. Broadly, the study of string matching fa...
We propose a simple modification of a well-known Random Walk algorithm for solving the Satisfiability problem and analyze its performance on random CNFs with a planted solution. ...
Conditional Random Field models have proved effective for several low-level computer vision problems. Inference in these models involves solving a combinatorial optimization probl...
