Exploring Unknown Environments
We consider exploration problems where a robot has to construct a complete map of an unknown environment. We assume that the environment is modeled by a directed, strongly connecte...

Using and Combining Predictors That Specialize
Abstract. We study online learning algorithms that predict by combining the predictions of several subordinate prediction algorithms, sometimes called “experts.” These simple a...

Every Minor-Closed Property of Sparse Graphs is Testable
Testing a property P of graphs in the bounded degree model is the following computational problem: given a graph G of bounded degree d we should distinguish (with probability 0.9,...

An Interruptible Algorithm for Perfect Sampling via Markov Chains
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...

Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation With Constant Error
Shor has showed how to perform fault tolerant quantum computation when the probability for an error in a qubit or a gate, η, decays with the size of the computation polylogarithmi...
