We study the average number of well-chosen labeled examples that are required for a helpful teacher to uniquely specify a target function within a concept class. This "average...
In standard property testing, the task is to distinguish between objects that have a property P and those that are ε-far from P, for some ε > 0. In this setting, it is perfec...

This paper studies sequence prediction based on the monotone Kolmogorov complexity Km=−log m, i.e. based on universal deterministic/one-part MDL. m is extremely close to Solomon...
Abstract. We study the maximum flow problem in an undirected planar network with both edge and vertex capacities (EVC-network). A previous study reduces the minimum cut problem in ...
Recently, a new compact representation for suboptimal alignments was proposed by Naor and Brutlag (1993). The kernel of that representation is a minimal directed acyclic graph (DAG...
