Suppose there are many clients, each having some personal information, and one server, which is interested only in aggregate, statistically significant, properties of this informa...
We present conditional random fields, a framework for building probabilistic models to segment and label sequence data. Conditional random fields offer several advantages over hid...

There is a wide variety of data mining methods available, and it is generally useful in exploratory data analysis to use many different methods for the same dataset. This, however...
Both peer-to-peer and sensor networks have the fundamental characteristics of node churn and failures. Peers in P2P networks are highly dynamic, whereas sensors are not dependable...
We describe an approach for incorporating randomization in the teaching of data structures and algorithms. The proofs we include are quite simple and can easily
