In many retrieval tasks, one important goal involves retrieving a diverse set of results (e.g., documents covering a wide range of topics for a search query). First of all, this r...
Given a collection Ᏺ of subsets of S ϭ {1, . . . , n}, set cover is the problem of selecting as few as possible subsets from Ᏺ such that their union covers S, and max k-cover ...
We consider the problem of finding a sparse set of edges containing the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a random subgraph of G with high probability. The two random models that we ...
In this paper, we argue that a broad range of large-scale network services would benefit from a scalable mechanism for delivering state about a random subset of global participan...
