Geometric Searching over the Rationals
We revisit classical geometric search problems under the assumption of rational coordinates. Our main result is a tight bound for point separation, ie, to determine whether n given...

Quartet Cleaning: Improved Algorithms and Simulations
A critical step in all quartet methods for constructing evolutionary trees is the inference of the topology for each set of four sequences (i.e. quartet). It is a well–known fact...

Occlusion Culling Using Minimum Occluder Set and Opacity Map
The aim of occlusion culling is to cull away a significant amount of invisible primitives at different viewpoints. We present two algorithms to improve occlusion culling for a hig...

On PAC Learning Using Winnow, Perceptron, and a Perceptron-like Algorithm
In this paper we analyze the PAC learning abilities of several simple iterative algorithms for learning linear threshold functions, obtaining both positive and negative results. W...

Non-Automatizability of Bounded-Depth Frege Proofs
In this paper, we show how to extend the argument due to Bonet, Pitassi and Raz to show that bounded-depth Frege proofs do not have feasible interpolation, assuming that factoring...

A Lower Bound for Primality
Recent work by Bernasconi, Damm and Shparlinski showed that the set of square-free numbers is not in AC0 , and raised as an open question whether similar (or stronger) lower bound...

LLB: A Fast and Effective Scheduling Algorithm for Distributed-Memory Systems
This paper presents a new algorithm called List-based Load Balancing (LLB) for compile-time task scheduling on distributed-memory machines. LLB is intended as a cluster-mapping an...
