Robust Shape Fitting via Peeling and Grating Coresets
Let P be a set of n points in Rd . A subset S of P is called a (k, )-kernel if for every direction, the direction width of S -approximates that of P, when k "outliers" c...

High-rate codes with sublinear-time decoding
Locally decodable codes are error-correcting codes that admit efficient decoding algorithms; any bit of the original message can be recovered by looking at only a small number of ...

Reducing drift in differential tracking
We present methods for turning pair-wise registration algorithms into drift-free trackers. Such registration algorithms are abundant, but the simplest techniques for building trac...

When are two algorithms the same?
People usually regard algorithms as more abstract than the programs that implement them. The natural way to formalize this idea is that algorithms are equivalence classes of progra...
