Real-world datasets exhibit a complex dependency structure among the data attributes. Learning this structure is a key task in automatic statistics configuration for query optimi...
We introduce a new cryptographic primitive called the blind coupon mechanism (BCM). In effect, the BCM is an authenticated bit commitment scheme, which is AND-homomorphic. It has n...
This paper introduces a system that automatically classifies registration problems based on the type of registration required. Rather than rely on a single "best" algorit...
We consider a combinatorial generalization of the classical multi-armed bandit problem that is defined as follows. There is a given bipartite graph of M users and N M resources. F...
Mutual information (MI) based image-registration methods that use histograms are known to suffer from the so-called binning problem, caused by the absence of a principled techniqu...
