Efficient Algorithms for the Spoonerism Problem
A spoonerism is a sentence in some natural language where the swapping of two letters results in a new sentence with a different meaning. In this paper, we give some efficient algo...

Combinatorial approach to the interpolation method and scaling limits in sparse random graphs
We establish the existence of free energy limits for several sparse random hypergraph models corresponding to certain combinatorial models on Erd¨os-R´enyi graph G(N, c/N) and r...
