We consider the problem of clustering in its most basic form where only a local metric on the data space is given. No parametric statistical model is assumed, and the number of cl...
: We analyze a randomized pivoting process involving one line and n points in the plane. The process models the behavior of the RANDOM-EDGE simplex algorithm on simple polytopes wi...
We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
This paper addresses the problem of image retrieval from an encrypted database, where data confidentiality is preserved both in the storage and retrieval process. The paper focus...
