One sketch for all: Theory and Application of Conditional Random Sampling
Conditional Random Sampling (CRS) was originally proposed for efficiently computing pairwise (l2, l1) distances, in static, large-scale, and sparse data. This study modifies the o...

Routing complexity of faulty networks
One of the fundamental problems in distributed computing is how to efficiently perform routing in a faulty network in which each link fails with some probability. This paper inves...
