We consider the problem of randomness extraction from independent sources. We construct an extractor that can extract from a constant number of independent sources of length n, ea...
This paper presents a system for segmentation of images into regions and annotation of these regions for semantic identification of the objects present in the image. The unified me...
We show that enumerating all minimal spanning and connected subsets of a given matroid is quasi-polynomially equivalent to the well-known hypergraph transversal problem, and thus ...

The hypergraph matching problem is to find a largest collection of disjoint hyperedges in a hypergraph. This is a well-studied problem in combinatorial optimization and graph theo...
The main result of this paper is that every 4-uniform hypergraph on n vertices and m edges has a transversal with no more than (5n + 4m)/21 vertices. In the particular case n = m,...
