Geometric Applications of a Randomized Optimization Technique
Abstract. We propose a simple, general, randomized technique to reduce certain geometric optimization problems to their corresponding decision problems. These reductions increase t...

Randomized Postoptimization of Covering Arrays
The construction of covering arrays with the fewest rows remains a challenging problem. Most computational and recursive constructions result in extensive repetition of coverage. W...

Randomness, Computability, and Density
We study effectively given positive reals (more specifically, computably enumerable reals) under a measure of relative randomness introduced by Solovay [32] and studied by Calud...

Improving the Scalability of Semi-Markov Conditional Random Fields for Named Entity Recognition
This paper presents techniques to apply semi-CRFs to Named Entity Recognition tasks with a tractable computational cost. Our framework can handle an NER task that has long named e...

Local Dynamics in Bargaining Networks via Random-Turn Games
Abstract. We present a new technique for analyzing the rate of convergence of local dynamics in bargaining networks. The technique reduces balancing in a bargaining network to opti...
