We give a new characterization of NP: the class NP contains exactly those languages L for which membership proofs (a proof that an input x is in L) can be verified probabilisticall...
We propose a conditional random fieldbased method for supertagging, and apply it to the task of learning new lexical items for HPSG-based precision grammars of English and Japanes...
Although approximate query processing is a prominent way to cope with the requirements of data analysis applications, current database systems do not provide integrated and compre...
Abstract. In this paper we present a randomized constant factor approximation algorithm for the problem of computing the optimal cost of the metric Minimum Facility Location proble...

Some of the currently best-known approximation algorithms for network design are based on random sampling. One of the key steps of such algorithms is connecting a set of source nod...
