We consider boosting algorithms that maintain a distribution over a set of examples. At each iteration a weak hypothesis is received and the distribution is updated. We motivate t...
In this work, we consider the problems of testing whether a distribution over {0, 1}n is k-wise (resp. ( , k)-wise) independent using samples drawn from that distribution. For the...

We consider the problem of constructing decision trees for entity identification from a given relational table. The input is a table containing information about a set of entities...

Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...
In tree-based multicast systems, a relatively small number of interior nodes carry the load of forwarding multicast messages. This works well when the interior nodes are highlyava...
