This paper connects two fundamental ideas from theoretical computer science: hard-core set construction, a type of hardness amplification from computational complexity, and boosti...
—Human computation is a technique that makes use of human abilities for computation to solve problems. The human computation problems are the problems those computers are not goo...
In a small computer science department without a graduate program, it is sometimes difficult to attract research students. This is particularly true for research in computer visio...
The Phylogenetic kth Root Problem (PRk) is the problem of finding a (phylogenetic) tree T from a given graph G = (V, E) such that (1) T has no degree-2 internal nodes, (2) the ex...
In portable multimedia systems a number of communicating tasks has to be performed on a set of heterogeneous processors. This should be done in an energy-efficient way. We give th...
