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...

Abstract. Ontologies are now used within an increasing number of realworld applications. So far, significant effort has been spend in building tools to support users in creating,...
Remote data access from disparate sources across a widearea network such as the Internet is problematic due to the unpredictable nature of the communications medium and the lack o...
In the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem there are k distributions associated with the rewards of playing each of k strategies (slot machine arms). The reward distributions are ini...
