Abstract. The Kaczmarz method for solving linear systems of equations Ax = b is an iterative algorithm that has found many applications ranging from computer tomography to digital ...
We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...
In this paper we present a novel approach for inducing word alignments from sentence aligned data. We use a Conditional Random Field (CRF), a discriminative model, which is estima...
In wireless networks, the knowledge of nodal distances is essential for performance analysis and protocol design. When determining distance distributions in random networks, the u...
We analyze the weighted height of random tries built from independent strings of i.i.d. symbols on the finite alphabet {1, . . . , d}. The edges receive random weights whose distr...
