Quantitative information plays a crucial role in understanding and interpreting the content of documents. Many user queries contain quantities and cannot be resolved without understanding their semantics, e.g., ``car that costs less than…
The Fenwick tree is a classical implicit data structure that stores an array in such a way that modifying an element, accessing an element, computing a prefix sum and performing a predecessor search on prefix sums all take logarithmic time.…
Ensemble of regression trees have become popular statistical tools for the estimation of conditional mean given a set of predictors. However, quantile regression trees and their ensembles have not yet garnered much attention despite the…
Quantum networks, which enable the transfer of quantum information across long distances, promise to provide exciting benefits and new possibilities in many areas including communication, computation, security, and metrology. These networks…
Connected acyclic graphs (trees) are data objects that hierarchically organize categories. Collections of trees arise in a diverse variety of fields, including evolutionary biology, public health, machine learning, social sciences and…
We introduce a new class of tree-based models, P-Trees, for analyzing (unbalanced) panel of individual asset returns, generalizing high-dimensional sorting with economic guidance and interpretability. Under the mean-variance efficient…
We consider a system of processor-sharing queues with state-dependent service rates. These are allocated according to balanced fairness within a polymatroid capacity set. Balanced fairness is known to be both insensitive and…
Motion planning problems can be simplified by admissible projections of the configuration space to sequences of lower-dimensional quotient-spaces, called sequential simplifications. To exploit sequential simplifications, we present the…
The problem of recovering (count and sum) range queries over multidimensional data only on the basis of aggregate information on such data is addressed. This problem can be formalized as follows. Suppose that a transformation T producing a…
Starting with an algorithm to turn lists into full trees which uses non-obvious invariants and partial functions, we progressively encode the invariants in the types of the data, removing most of the burden of a correctness proof. The…
We propose a new wavelet-based method for density estimation when the data are size-biased. More specifically, we consider a power of the density of interest, where this power exceeds 1/2. Warped wavelet bases are employed, where warping is…
Can we do arithmetic in a completely different way, with a radically different data structure? Could this approach provide practical benefits, like operations on giant numbers while having an average performance similar to traditional…
In this paper we introduce a significant improvement to the popular tree-based Stochastic Gradient Boosting algorithm using a wavelet decomposition of the trees. This approach is based on harmonic analysis and approximation theoretical…
Organizing large-scale resources in a multidimensional semantic space is an approach to efficiently managing and querying resources from different semantic dimensions. To support advanced applications, this paper proposes a resource space…
In many applications it will be useful to know those patterns that occur with a balanced interval, e.g., a certain combination of phone numbers are called almost every Friday or a group of products are sold a lot on Tuesday and Thursday. In…
Concurrent data structures serve as fundamental building blocks for concurrent computing. Many concurrent counterparts have been designed for basic sequential mechanisms; however, one notable omission is a concurrent tree that supports…
Mobility data science offers insights into the complex interconnections of spatial data of moving objects and their surroundings, often based on a combination of vector and raster data. For example, mobility traces are usually in vector…
The detection of power-laws in real data is a demanding task for several reasons. The two, more frequently met, being: (i) real data possess noise which affects significantly the power-law tails and (ii) there is no solid tool for the…
Clustered data, which arise when observations are nested within groups, are incredibly common in clinical, education, and social science research. Traditionally, a linear mixed model, which includes random effects to account for…
We study the following range searching problem in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces: given a finite set $P\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, where each $p\in P$ is assigned a weight $w_p$, and radius $r>0$, we need to preprocess $P$ into a data…
