We prove that for any positive integer k, there is a constant ck such that a randomly selected set of cknk log n Boolean vectors with high probability supports a balanced k-wise i...
In the inductive inference framework of learning in the limit, a variation of the bounded example memory (Bem) language learning model is considered. Intuitively, the new model con...
Set agreement, where processors decisions constitute a set of outputs, is notoriously harder to analyze than consensus where the decisions are restricted to a single output. This ...
Abstract. Oracle separation methods are used in cryptography to rule out blackbox reductions between cryptographic primitives. It is sufficient to find an oracle relative to whic...
We consider the question of the stability of evolutionary algorithms to gradual changes, or drift, in the target concept. We define an algorithm to be resistant to drift if, for s...
