Motivated by the poor performance (linear complexity) of the EM algorithm in clustering large data sets, and inspired by the successful accelerated versions of related algorithms l...
Ranged hash functions generalize hash tables to the setting where hash buckets may come and go over time, a typical case in distributed settings where hash buckets may correspond ...
Abstract—The following network computing problem is considered. Source nodes in a directed acyclic network generate independent messages and a single receiver node computes a tar...
We study the behavior of the classical A∗ search algorithm when coupled with a heuristic that provides estimates, accurate to within a small multiplicative factor, of the distan...
We give a strongly polynomial-time algorithm minimizing a submodular function f given by a value-giving oracle. The algorithm does not use the ellipsoid method or any other linear ...
