We describe a randomized algorithm that, given an integer a, produces a certificate that the integer is not a pure power of an integer in expected (log a)1+o(1) bit operations unde...
Current constructions of efficient argument systems combine a short (polynomial size) PCP with a cryptographic hashing technique. We suggest an alternative approach for this probl...
Verification conditions (VCs) are logical formulae whose validity implies the correctness of a program with respect to a specification. The technique of checking software properti...
The problem of automatic feature selection/weighting in kernel methods is examined. We work on a formulation that optimizes both the weights of features and the parameters of the ...
Temporal logic is two-valued: formulas are interpreted as either true or false. When applied to the analysis of stochastic systems, or systems with imprecise formal models, tempor...
