In this article we show that there is a strong connection between decision tree learning and local pattern mining. This connection allows us to solve the computationally hard probl...
The quantum query complexity of searching for local optima has been a subject of much interest in the recent literature. For the d-dimensional grid graphs, the complexity has been...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
Circumscription is one of the most important formalisms for reasoning with incomplete information. It is equivalent to reasoning under the extended closed world assumption, which a...
We coiisider a situation where two parties, Alice and Bob, share a common secret string arid would like to mutually check their knowledge of that string. We describe a simple and e...
