We show that no Markovian Coupling argument can prove rapid mixing of the Jerrum-Sinclair Markov chain for sampling almost uniformly from the set of perfect and near perfect match...
This paper reports on a set of experiments that measure the amount of CPU processing needed to decode MPEGcompressed video in software. These experiments were designed to discover...

We propose a new model for exible composition of objects et of features. Features are similar to (abstract) subclasses, but only provide the core functionality of a (sub)class. Ove...
The result size of a query that involves multiple attributes from the same relation depends on these attributes’ joint data distribution,i.e., the frequencies of all combination...
Let G(3n, p, 3) be a random 3-colorable graph on a set of 3n vertices generated as follows. First, split the vertices arbitrarily into three equal color classes and then choose ev...
