We introduce Multi-Trials, a new technique for symmetry breaking for distributed algorithms and apply it to various problems in general graphs. For instance, we present three rand...
Boosting algorithms are procedures that "boost" low-accuracy weak learning algorithms to achieve arbitrarily high accuracy. Over the past decade boosting has been widely...
Persistent homology is the mathematical core of recent work on shape, including reconstruction, recognition, and matching. Its pertinent information is encapsulated by a pairing o...

We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...
Bresenham's algorithm minimizes error in drawing lines on integer grid points; leap year calculations, surprisingly, are a generalization. We compare the two calculations, exp...
