The high degree of complexity and autonomy of future robotic space missions, such as Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), poses serious challenges in assuring their reliability and efï¬...
Detecting duplicates in data streams is an important problem that has a wide range of applications. In general, precisely detecting duplicates in an unbounded data stream is not fe...
Abstract. In this article, we propose new parallel algorithms for the construction and 2:1 balance refinement of large linear octrees on distributed memory machines. Such octrees a...
We consider the problem of finding highly correlated pairs in a large data set. That is, given a threshold not too small, we wish to report all the pairs of items (or binary attri...
We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...
