We consider the problem of uniform sampling of points on an algebraic variety. Specifically, we develop a randomized algorithm that, given a small set of multivariate polynomials ...
Relational joins are at the core of relational algebra, which in turn is the core of the standard database query language SQL. As their evaluation is expensive and very often domi...
We study a novel "coverage by directional sensors" problem with tunable orientations on a set of discrete targets. We propose a Maximum Coverage with Minimum Sensors (MCM...
Online prediction methods are typically presented as serial algorithms running on a single processor. However, in the age of web-scale prediction problems, it is increasingly comm...

We deepen the theoretical analysis of the genetic algorithm for the all-pairs shortest path problem proposed by Doerr, Happ and Klein (GECCO 2008). We show that the growth of the ...
