Given a planar polygonal subdivision S, the point location problem is to preprocess S into a data structure so that the cell of the subdivision that contains a given query point c...
Rocchio’s similarity-based relevance feedback algorithm, one of the most important query reformation methods in information retrieval, is essentially an adaptive supervised lear...
Oblivious transfer is a fundamental primitive in cryptography. While perfect information theoretic security is impossible, quantum oblivious transfer protocols can limit the disho...
Recently developed dual techniques allow us to evaluate a given sub-optimal dynamic portfolio policy by using the policy to construct an upper bound on the optimal value function....
In 2002 Jackson et al. [JKS02] asked whether AC0 circuits augmented with a threshold gate at the output can be efficiently learned from uniform random examples. We answer this ques...
