Energy consumption by computer systems has emerged as an important concern. However, the energy consumed in executing an algorithm cannot be inferred from its performance alone: i...
We define a new interactive differentially private mechanism — the median mechanism — for answering arbitrary predicate queries that arrive online. Given fixed accuracy and...
Algorithmic tools for graphs of small treewidth are used to address questions in complexity theory. For both arithmetic and Boolean circuits, it is shown that any circuit of size ...
Negative selection algorithms are immune-inspired classifiers that are trained on negative examples only. Classification is performed by generating detectors that match none of ...
A discrete distribution D over Σ1 × · · · × Σn is called (non-uniform) k-wise independent if for any set of k indexes {i1, . . . , ik} and for any z1 ∈ Σi1 , . . . , zk ...
