We show that finding small solutions to random modular linear equations is at least as hard as approximating several lattice problems in the worst case within a factor almost line...
A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
We consider the problem of evaluating multiple overlapping queries defined on data streams, where each query is a conjunction of multiple filters and each filter may be shared acr...
Pointing gestures are a common and intuitive way to draw somebody’s attention to a certain object. While humans can easily interpret robot gestures, the perception of human beha...
