A new approach to nonrepetitive sequences
A sequence is nonrepetitive if it does not contain two adjacent identical blocks. The remarkable construction of Thue asserts that 3 symbols are enough to build an arbitrarily long...

Designing Efficient Distributed Algorithms Using Sampling Techniques
In this paper we show the power of sampling techniques in designing efficient distributed algorithms. In particular, we show that using sampling techniques, on some networks, sele...

The Impact of Quanta on the Performance of Multi-level Time Sharing Policy under Heavy-tailed Workloads
Recent research indicates that modern computer workloads (e.g. processing time of web requests) follow heavy-tailed distributions. In a heavy-tailed distribution there are a large...

Generating Better Decision Trees
A new decision tree learning algorithm called IDX is described. More general than existing algorithms, IDX addresses issues of decision tree quality largely overlooked in the arti...
