Why simple hash functions work: exploiting the entropy in a data stream
Hashing is fundamental to many algorithms and data structures widely used in practice. For theoretical analysis of hashing, there have been two main approaches. First, one can ass...

Characterizing Data Complexity for Conjunctive Query Answering in Expressive Description Logics
Description Logics (DLs) are the formal foundations of the standard web ontology languages OWL-DL and OWL-Lite. In the Semantic Web and other domains, ontologies are increasingly ...

Provably Good Surface Sampling and Approximation
We present an algorithm for meshing surfaces that is a simple adaptation of a greedy “farthest point” technique proposed by Chew. Given a surface S, it progressively adds poin...

Finite-Sample Convergence Rates for Q-Learning and Indirect Algorithms
In this paper, we address two issues of long-standing interest in the reinforcement learning literature. First, what kinds of performance guarantees can be made for Q-learning aft...

Choiceless Computation and Symmetry
Many natural problems in computer science concern structures like graphs where elements are not inherently ordered. In contrast, Turing machines and other common models of computa...
