A Random Polynomial Time Algorithm for Approximating the Volume of Convex Bodies
We present a randomised polynomial time algorithm for approximating the volume of a convex body K in n-dimensional Euclidean space. The proof of correctness of the algorithm relie...

A random walk approach to sampling hidden databases
A large part of the data on the World Wide Web is hidden behind form-like interfaces. These interfaces interact with a hidden backend database to provide answers to user queries. ...

Uniform Sampling for Directed P2P Networks
Selecting a random peer with uniform probability across a peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a fundamental function for unstructured search, data replication, and monitoring algorithms....

Coverage-biased Random Exploration of Models
This paper describes a set of methods for randomly drawing traces in large models either uniformly among all traces, or with a coverage criterion as target. Classical random walk ...

Learning DNF from Random Walks
We consider a model of learning Boolean functions from examples generated by a uniform random walk on {0, 1}n . We give a polynomial time algorithm for learning decision trees and...
