We present a simple, agnostic active learning algorithm that works for any hypothesis class of bounded VC dimension, and any data distribution. Our algorithm extends a scheme of C...
We present the first location oblivious distributed unit disk graph coloring algorithm having a provable performance ratio of three (i.e. the number of colors used by the algorit...

We present a new technique for constructing and analyzing couplings to bound the convergence rate of finite Markov chains. Our main theorem is a generalization of the path couplin...
In the literature, Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAGs) are propagated to be adequate for natural language description -- analysis as well as generation. In this paper we concentrate on...
A constraint satisfaction problem, or CSP, can be reformulated as an integer linear programming problem. The reformulated problem can be solved via polynomial multiplication. If t...
