There are many randomized "divide and conquer" algorithms, such as randomized Quicksort, whose operation involves partitioning a problem of size n uniformly at random int...
—Random walk (RW) has been widely used as a strategy for searching in peer-to-peer networks. The boom of social network applications introduces new impact to the classical algori...
We develop a hierarchical matrix construction algorithm using matrixvector multiplications, based on the randomized singular value decomposition of low-rank matrices. The algorith...
—We consider the Bayesian inference of a random Gaussian vector in a linear model with a random Gaussian matrix. We review two approaches to finding the MAP estimator for this m...
In this work, we present a common framework for seeded image segmentation algorithms that yields two of the leading methods as special cases - The Graph Cuts and the Random Walker...
