In standard online learning, the goal of the learner is to maintain an average loss that is "not too big" compared to the loss of the best-performing function in a fixed...
We investigate the problem of active learning on a given tree whose nodes are assigned binary labels in an adversarial way. Inspired by recent results by Guillory and Bilmes, we c...
ABSTRACT. Motivated by economic thought, a recent research agenda has suggested the algorithmic study of combinatorial optimization problems under functions which satisfy the prope...
1 Shannon's channel capacity specifies the upper bound on the amount of bits per channel use. In this paper, we explicitly demonstrate that twin-component turbo codes suffer f...
This paper addresses the issue of network life during repeated broadcasts originating from the same source in large, strip-shaped wireless sensor networks. The proposed technique w...
