Several authors have suggested viewing boosting as a gradient descent search for a good fit in function space. At each iteration observations are re-weighted using the gradient of...
We present a new constant round protocol for non-malleable zero-knowledge. Using this protocol as a subroutine, we obtain a new constant-round protocol for non-malleable commitmen...
For a largenumber of data management problems, it would be very useful to be able to obtain a few samples from a data set, and to use the samples to guess the largest (or smallest)...
Database workloads consist of mixes of queries that run concurrently and interact with each other. In this paper, we demonstrate that query interactions can have a significant imp...
In this paper we present a new way of translating documents by using a Web-based system. An interactive approach is proposed as an alternative to post-editing the output of a mach...
