Active learning [1] is a branch of Machine Learning in which the learning algorithm, instead of being directly provided with pairs of problem instances and their solutions (their l...
: A Peer-to-peer Data Network (PDN) is an open and evolving society of peer nodes that assemble into a network to share their data for mutual benefit. PDNs are enabled by distribu...
Expressing complex OLAP queries using group-by, aggregation, and joins can be extremely difficult. As a result of this, many alternate ways of expressing such queries have been de...
We study the power of nonadaptive quantum query algorithms, which are algorithms whose queries to the input do not depend on the result of previous queries. First, we show that an...
The degree of a polynomial representing (or approximating) a function f is a lower bound for the quantum query complexity of f. This observation has been a source of many lower bo...
