We address the problem of minimizing the communication involved in the exchange of similar documents. We consider two users, A and B, who hold documents x and y respectively. Neit...
The center string (or closest string) problem is a classical computer science problem with important applications in computational biology. Given k input strings and a distance thr...
A method for demonstrating and enumerating uniformly efficient (permutation-optimal) trellis decoders for self-dual codes of high minimum distance is developed. Such decoders and c...
We develop a multi-class object detection framework whose core component is a nearest neighbor search over object part classes. The performance of the overall system is critically...
Conditional Random Sampling (CRS) was originally proposed for efficiently computing pairwise (l2, l1) distances, in static, large-scale, and sparse data. This study modifies the o...
