We present a novel distributed algorithm for the maximal independent set (MIS) problem.1 On bounded-independence graphs (BIG) our deterministic algorithm finishes in O(log n) time,...
An important theoretical tool in machine learning is the bias/variance decomposition of the generalization error. It was introduced for the mean square error in [3]. The bias/vari...
In this paper, we set up a framework to study approximation of manipulation, control, and bribery in elections. We show existence of approximation algorithms (even fully polynomia...

This work is motivated by the long-standing open problem of designing a polynomial-time algorithm that with high probability constructs an asymptotically maximum independent set in...

Background: The traditional (unweighted) k-means is one of the most popular clustering methods for analyzing gene expression data. However, it suffers three major shortcomings. It...
