In this paper, we study the possibility of designing non-trivial random CSP models by exploiting the intrinsic connection between structures and typical-case hardness. We show tha...
In this paper, we set forth a new algorithm for generating approximately uniformly random spanning trees in undirected graphs. We show how to sample from a distribution that is wi...
Abstract. Financial applications are one of many fields where a multivariate Gaussian random number generator plays a key role in performing computationally extensive simulations. ...
We consider the following marking process (rw-rand) made by a random walk on an undirected graph G. Upon arrival at a vertex v, it marks v if unmarked and otherwise it marks a ran...

A broad class of boosting algorithms can be interpreted as performing coordinate-wise gradient descent to minimize some potential function of the margins of a data set. This class...
