Boosting algorithms are procedures that "boost" low-accuracy weak learning algorithms to achieve arbitrarily high accuracy. Over the past decade boosting has been widely...
We present a range of new results for testing properties of Boolean functions that are defined in terms of the Fourier spectrum. Broadly speaking, our results show that the propert...

This paper shows how to build and maintain a distributed heap which we call SHELL. In contrast to standard heaps, our heap is oblivious in the sense that its structure only depends...
Estimating the cardinality (i.e. number of distinct elements) of an arbitrary set expression defined over multiple distributed streams is one of the most fundamental queries of in...
We study the satisfiability problem associated with XPath in the presence of DTDs. This is the problem of determining, given a query p in an XPath fragment and a DTD D, whether or...
