In this paper we consider the problem of learning hidden independent cascade social networks using exact value injection queries. These queries involve activating and suppressing a...
Type-ahead search is a new information-access paradigm, in which systems can find answers to keyword queries “onthe-fly” as a user types in a query. It improves traditional ...
We propose a balanced tree structure overlay on a peer-to-peer network capable of supporting both exact queries and range queries efficiently. In spite of the tree structure caus...
Motivated by recent work on quantum black-box query complexity, we consider quantum versions of two wellstudied models of learning Boolean functions: Angluin’s model of exact le...
An estimation algorithm for a query is a probabilistic algorithm that computes an approximation for the size (number of tuples) of the query. One class of estimation algorithms us...
