We propose an algorithm which is an improved version of the Kabatiansky-Tavernier list decoding algorithm for the second order binary Reed-Muller code RM(2, m), of length n = 2m , ...
We give new recursive constructions of complete caps in PG(n, 2). We approach the problem of constructing caps with low dependency via the doubling construction and comparison to ...
We consider the complexity of sorting strings in the model that counts comparisons between symbols and not just comparisons between strings. We show that for any set of strings S ...
Abstract. We consider the framework of stochastic multi-armed bandit problems and study the possibilities and limitations of strategies that explore sequentially the arms. The stra...
Motivated by the principle of agnostic learning, we present an extension of the model introduced by Balcan, Blum, and Gupta [3] on computing low-error clusterings. The extended mod...
