We use the concept of conditional mutual information (MI) to approach problems involving the selection of variables in the area of medical diagnosis. Computing MI requires estimate...
Generating a random sampling of program trees with specified function and terminal sets is the initial step of many program evolution systems. I present a theoretical and experim...
Despite of their applicability betweennness constraints have (to the author’s knowledge) hardly been considered from the random structures point of view. They are essentially di...
We propose a novel way to induce a random field from an energy function on discrete labels. It amounts to locally injecting noise to the energy potentials, followed by finding t...
We consider the problem of creating a sample view of a database table. A sample view is an indexed, materialized view that permits efficient sampling from an arbitrary range query...
