Vulnerabilities in distributed applications are being uncovered and exploited faster than software engineers can patch the security holes. All too often these weaknesses result fr...
Abstract. A crucial problem in machine learning is to choose an appropriate representation of data, in a way that emphasizes the relations we are interested in. In many cases this ...
The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
Arti cial Life and the more general area of Complex Systems does not have a uni ed theoretical framework although most theoretical work in these areas is based on simulation. This ...
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs PCPs the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on prov...
