Balls and Bins: Smaller Hash Families and Faster Evaluation
A fundamental fact in the analysis of randomized algorithm is that when n balls are hashed into n bins independently and uniformly at random, with high probability each bin contai...

Earth Mover Distance on superpixels
Earth Mover Distance (EMD) is a popular distance to compute distances between Probability Density Functions (PDFs). It has been successfully applied in a wide selection of problem...

Linear Level Lasserre Lower Bounds for Certain k-CSPs
We show that for k ≥ 3 even the Ω(n) level of the Lasserre hierarchy cannot disprove a random k-CSP instance over any predicate type implied by k-XOR constraints, for example ...

An Improved Analysis of Linear Mergers
Mergers are procedures that, with the aid of a short random string, transform k (possibly dependent) random sources into a single random source, in a way that ensures that if one ...

On the Complexity of Approximating the VC Dimension
We study the complexity of approximating the VC dimension of a collection of sets, when the sets are encoded succinctly by a small circuit. We show that this problem is • Σp 3-...
