In this work, we study the notion of competing campaigns in a social network. By modeling the spread of influence in the presence of competing campaigns, we provide necessary too...
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
Many large-scale networks such as ad hoc and sensor networks, peer-to-peer networks, or the Internet have the property that the number of independent nodes does not grow arbitrari...
Consider a scenario where an l-bit secret has been distributed among n players by an honest dealer using some secret sharing scheme. Then, if all players behave honestly, the secre...
The overlap number of a finite (d + 1)-uniform hypergraph H is the largest constant c(H) (0, 1] such that no matter how we map the vertices of H into Rd , there is a point covered...
