This paper finds and analyzes a formula for the total variation distance between iterations of riffle shuffles and iterations of "cut and then riffle shuffle". This allo...
Record linkage, the problem of determining when two records refer to the same entity, has applications for both data cleaning (deduplication) and for integrating data from multipl...
Recent developments in the area of reinforcement learning have yielded a number of new algorithms for the prediction and control of Markovian environments. These algorithms,includ...

— Recently, we proposed a random transmit power control (TPC) to increase the uplink capacity of DS-CDMA wireless packet access using Rake combining. Furthermore, we evaluated th...
: We describe a simple and yet surprisingly powerful probabilistic technique which shows how to find in a dense graph a large subset of vertices in which all (or almost all) small...
