Motivated by applications in computer graphics, visualization, and scienti c computation, we study the computational complexity of the following problem: Given a set S of n points...
Many information integration tasks require computing similarity between pairs of objects. Pairwise similarity computations are particularly important in record linkage systems, as...
We revisit the problem of computing shortest obstacle-avoiding paths among obstacles in three dimensions. We prove new hardness results, showing, e.g., that computing Euclidean sh...
We present a general joint component framework model that is capable of exhibiting complex behavior of joints in articulated figures. The joints are capable of handling non-ortho...
We examine the number T of queries that a quantum network requires to compute several Boolean functions on f0;1gN in the black-box model. We show that, in the blackbox model, the ...
