In many important problems, one uses the median instead of the mean to estimate a population's center, since the former is more robust. But in general, computing the median i...
Elastic systems, either synchronous or asynchronous, can be optimized for the average-case performance when they have units with early evaluation or variable latency. The performan...

In this paper we discuss the use of structured matrix methods for the numerical approximation of the zeros of a univariate polynomial. In particular, it is shown that root-findin...
We consider the problem of learning a ranking function that maximizes a generalization of the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney statistic on the training data. Relying on an -accurate approxim...

Many network applications that need to distribute content and data to a large number of clients use a hybrid scheme in which one (or more) multicast channel is used in parallel to...
