We consider the problem of solving a linear system Ax = b over a cyclotomic field. What makes cyclotomic fields of special interest is that we can easily find a prime p that sp...
Traditional web link-based ranking schemes use a single score to measure a page’s authority without concern of the community from which that authority is derived. As a result, a...
Quorums are a basic construct in solving many fundamental distributed computing problems. One of the known ways of making quorums scalable and efficient is by weakening their int...
The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...
We examine a general Bayesian framework for constructing on-line prediction algorithms in the experts setting. These algorithms predict the bits of an unknown Boolean sequence usin...
