Many recommendation and retrieval tasks can be represented as proximity queries on a labeled directed graph, with typed nodes representing documents, terms, and metadata, and labe...
In the cyclic-to-random shuffle, we are given n cards arranged in a circle. At step k, we exchange the k'th card along the circle with a uniformly chosen random card. The pro...
Random projection (RP) is a common technique for dimensionality reduction under L2 norm for which many significant space embedding results have been demonstrated. However, many si...
We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Torus, mesh, and flattened butterfly networks have all been considered as candidate architectures for on-chip interconnection networks. In this paper, we study the problem of opti...
