Local Search problem, which finds a local minimum of a black-box function on a given graph, is of both practical and theoretical importance to combinatorial optimization, complexi...
Abstract. In the late nineties, Erickson proved a remarkable lower bound on the decision tree complexity of one of the central problems of computational geometry: given n numbers, ...
The doubling dimension of a metric is the smallest k such that any ball of radius 2r can be covered using 2k balls of raThis concept for abstract metrics has been proposed as a na...
Given an undirected graph or an Eulerian directed graph G and a subset S of its vertices, we show how to determine the edge connectivity C of the vertices in S in time O(C3 n log ...
Boosting algorithms are procedures that "boost" low-accuracy weak learning algorithms to achieve arbitrarily high accuracy. Over the past decade boosting has been widely...
