We study the problem of learning large margin halfspaces in various settings using coresets to show that coresets are a widely applicable tool for large margin learning. A large m...
Many nonlinear dynamical phenomena can be effectively modeled by a system that switches among a set of conditionally linear dynamical modes. We consider two such models: the switc...

In this paper we examine the diffusion of competing rumors in social networks. Two players select a disjoint subset of nodes as initiators of the rumor propagation, seeking to maxi...
We study field-monitoring applications in which sensors are deployed in large numbers and the sensing process is expensive. In such applications, nodes should use the minimum poss...
Guided by the goal of obtaining an optimization algorithm that is both fast and yields good generalization, we study the descent direction maximizing the decrease in generalizatio...
