Abstract: Probabilistically constrained problems, in which the random variables are finitely distributed, are nonconvex in general and hard to solve. The p-efficiency concept has b...
Suppose we have a large table T of items i, each with a weight wi, e.g., people and their salary. In a general preprocessing step for estimating arbitrary subset sums, we assign e...

We propose a new active learning algorithm to address the problem of selecting a limited subset of utterances for transcribing from a large amount of unlabeled utterances so that ...

In this paper we examine the problem of balancing load in a large-scale distributed system when information about server loads may be stale. It is well known that sending each req...
We consider the problem of partitioning the set of vertices of a given unit disk graph (UDG) into a minimum number of cliques. The problem is NP-hard and various constant factor a...
