In recent years, several architectures have been proposed and developed for supporting streaming applications that take advantage of multiple paths through the network simultaneou...
We study the problem of non-interactive correlation distillation (NICD). Suppose Alice and Bob each has a string, denoted by A = a0a1 · · · an−1 and B = b0b1 · · · bn−1,...
We introduce a class of learning problems where the agent is presented with a series of tasks. Intuitively, if there is relation among those tasks, then the information gained duri...
We investigate issues regarding two hard problems related to voting, the optimal weighted lobbying problem and the winner problem for Dodgson elections. Regarding the former, Chris...
