In this note we study the existence of a solution to the survey-propagation equations for the random K-satisfiability problem for a given instance. We conjecture that when the num...
This paper is devoted to the “Discovery of Slowness.” The archetypical perversely awful algorithm bogo-sort, which is sometimes referred to as Monkey-sort, is analyzed with ele...
We extend results about heights of random trees (Devroye, 1986, 1987, 1998b). In this paper, a general split tree model is considered in which the normalized subtree sizes of node...
We consider the model of random trees introduced by Devroye [SIAM J Comput 28, 409– 432, 1998]. The model encompasses many important randomized algorithms and data structures. T...
Random forests are one of the best performing methods for constructing ensembles. They derive their strength from two aspects: using random subsamples of the training data (as in b...
