Randomized algorithms for estimating the trace of an implicit symmetric positive semi-definite matrix
We analyze the convergence of randomized trace estimators. Starting at 1989, several algorithms have been proposed for estimating the trace of a matrix by 1 M M i=1 zT i Azi, where...

Diagram Structure Recognition by Bayesian Conditional Random Fields
Hand-drawn diagrams present a complex recognition problem. Elements of the diagram are often individually ambiguous, and require context to be interpreted. We present a recognitio...

k-Wise Independent Random Graphs
We study the k-wise independent relaxation of the usual model G(N, p) of random graphs where, as in this model, N labeled vertices are fixed and each edge is drawn with probabili...
