Regret Bounds for Hierarchical Classification with Linear-Threshold Functions
We study the problem of classifying data in a given taxonomy when classifications associated with multiple and/or partial paths are allowed. We introduce an incremental algorithm u...

An O(log n) dominating set protocol for wireless ad-hoc networks under the physical interference model
Dealing with interference is one of the primary challenges to solve in the design of protocols for wireless ad-hoc networks. Most of the work in the literature assumes localized o...

Choice-Memory Tradeoff in Allocations
In the classical balls-and-bins paradigm, where n balls are placed independently and uniformly in n bins, typically the number of bins with at least two balls in them is Θ(n) and ...
