—Dimensionality reduction is essential in text mining since the dimensionality of text documents could easily reach several tens of thousands. Most recent efforts on dimensionali...
We re-examine the two reasons for the conservative 1-second Minimum TCP-RTO to protect against spurious timeouts: i) the OS clock granularity and ii) the Delayed ACKs. We find tha...
Devising an efficient deterministic – or even a nondeterministic sub-exponential time – algorithm for testing polynomial identities is a fundamental problem in algebraic comp...
We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...
We show that randomization can lead to significant improvements for a few fundamental problems in distributed tracking. Our basis is the count-tracking problem, where there are k...
