In this paper, we generalize the Ski-Rental Problem to the Bahncard Problem which is an online problem of practical relevance for all travelers. The Bahncard is a railway pass of t...
Clustering algorithms play an important role in data analysis and information retrieval. How to obtain a clustering for a large set of highdimensional data suitable for database ap...
In this paper, we study online algorithms when the input is not chosen adversarially, but consists of draws from some given probability distribution. While this model has been stu...
Given a multicomputer system of parallel processors connected in a torus network, the one-to-all personalized communication is to send from the root processor unique data to each ...
The majority of the existing algorithms for learning decision trees are greedy--a tree is induced top-down, making locally optimal decisions at each node. In most cases, however, ...
