Binary search trees are a fundamental data structure and their height plays a key role in the analysis of divide-and-conquer algorithms like quicksort. Their worst-case height is l...
Abstract. Document length is widely recognized as an important factor for adjusting retrieval systems. Many models tend to favor the retrieval of either short or long documents and...
Semi-supervised inductive learning concerns how to learn a decision rule from a data set containing both labeled and unlabeled data. Several boosting algorithms have been extended...
Abstract. We perform a smoothed analysis of the condition number of rectangular matrices. We prove that, asymptotically, the expected value of this condition number depends only of...
We perform a smoothed analysis of Renegar’s condition number for linear programming by analyzing the distribution of the distance to ill-posedness of a linear program subject to...
