Fully-populated tori, where every node has a processor attached, do not scale well since load on edges increases superlinearly with network size under heavy communication, resulti...
Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose there ...
We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

Abstract. Comparison of images requires a distance metric that is sensitive to the spatial location of objects and features. Such sensitive distance measures can, however, be compu...
