Lower bounds for distributed markov chain problems
We study the worst-case communication complexity of distributed algorithms computing a path problem based on stationary distributions of random walks in a network G with the caveat...

Distributed Uniform Sampling in Unstructured Peer-to-Peer Networks
— Uniform sampling in networks is at the core of a wide variety of randomized algorithms. Random sampling can be performed by modeling the system as an undirected graph with asso...

Web image mining using concept sensitive Markov stationary features
With the explosive growth of web resources, how to mine semantically relevant images efficiently becomes a challenging and necessary task. In this paper, we propose a concept sens...

Faster Generation of Random Spanning Trees
In this paper, we set forth a new algorithm for generating approximately uniformly random spanning trees in undirected graphs. We show how to sample from a distribution that is wi...

Fast direct policy evaluation using multiscale analysis of Markov diffusion processes
Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...
