Rapidly Mixing Markov Chains for Sampling Contingency Tables with a Constant Number of Rows
We consider the problem of sampling almost uniformly from the set of contingency tables with given row and column sums, when the number of rows is a constant. Cryan and Dyer [3] h...

Solo-valency and the cost of coordination
This paper introduces solo-valency, a variation on the valency proof technique originated by Fischer, Lynch, and Paterson. The new technique focuses on critical events that influe...

Online dictionary learning for sparse coding
Sparse coding--that is, modelling data vectors as sparse linear combinations of basis elements--is widely used in machine learning, neuroscience, signal processing, and statistics...

Expander flows, geometric embeddings and graph partitioning
We give a O( log n)-approximation algorithm for sparsest cut, edge expansion, balanced separator, and graph conductance problems. This improves the O(log n)-approximation of Leig...

Bit Allocation in Sub-linear Time and the Multiple-Choice Knapsack Problem
We show that the problem of optimal bit allocation among a set of independent discrete quantizers given a budget constraint is equivalent to the multiple choice knapsack problem (...
