Abstract Polynomial-time data reduction is a classical approach to hard graph problems. Typically, particular small subgraphs are replaced by smaller gadgets. We generalize this ap...
We investigate the problem of active learning on a given tree whose nodes are assigned binary labels in an adversarial way. Inspired by recent results by Guillory and Bilmes, we c...
A celebrated theorem of Savitch [Sav70] states that NSPACE(S) ⊆ DSPACE(S2 ). In particular, Savitch gave a deterministic algorithm to solve ST-CONNECTIVITY (an NL-complete probl...
This paper explores the aggregate effect when caching multiple versions of the same Web object in the transcoding proxy. Explicitly, the aggregate profit from caching multiple ver...
Automatic categorization of user queries is an important component of general purpose (Web) search engines, particularly for triggering rich, query-specific content and sponsored ...
