A fundamental task in multi-agent systems is matchmaking, which is to retrieve and classify service descriptions of agents that (best) match a given service request. Several approa...
Object decomposition into simpler parts greatly diminishes the complexity of a recognition task. In this paper, we present a method to decompose a 3D discrete object into nearly c...
We define general algebraic frameworks for shortest-distance problems based on the structure of semirings. We give a generic algorithm for finding single-source shortest distances...
In this study we propose sketching algorithms for computing similarities between hierarchical data. Specifically, we look at data objects that are represented using leaf-labeled t...
Approximating pairwise, or k-wise, independence with sublinear memory is of considerable importance in the data stream model. In the streaming model the joint distribution is give...
