Biased Random Walks
How much can an imperfect source of randomness affect an algorithm? We examine several simple questions of this type concerning the long-term behavior of a random walk on a finite...

Deterministic Sampling Algorithms for Network Design
For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...

Optimal hash functions for approximate closest pairs on the n-cube
One way to find closest pairs in large datasets is to use hash functions [6], [12]. In recent years locality-sensitive hash functions for various metrics have been given: projecti...
