The multiple-instance learning (MIL) model has been very successful in application areas such as drug discovery and content-based imageretrieval. Recently, a generalization of thi...

We study containment and equivalence of (unions of) conjunctive queries on relations annotated with elements of a commutative semiring. Such relations and the semantics of positiv...
Context Unification is the problem to decide for a given set of second-order equations E where all second-order variables are unary, whether there exists a unifier, such that for e...
The notion of efficient computation is usually identified in cryptography and complexity with (strict) probabilistic polynomial time. However, until recently, in order to obtain c...
We study the problem of finding the minimum size DNF formula for a function f : {0, 1}d → {0, 1} given its truth table. We show that unless NP ⊆ DTIME(npoly(log n) ), there i...
