Dimensionality reduction plays an important role in many data mining applications involving high-dimensional data. Many existing dimensionality reduction techniques can be formula...
Zero knowledge sets (ZKS) [18] allow a party to commit to a secret set S and then to, non interactively, produce proofs for statements such as x ∈ S or x /∈ S. As recognized in...
In an online convex optimization problem a decision-maker makes a sequence of decisions, i.e., chooses a sequence of points in Euclidean space, from a fixed feasible set. After ea...
Detecting low-level image features such as edges and ridges with spatial filters is improved if the scale of the features are known a priori. Scale-space representations and wavele...
