We consider sequential maximization of performance metrics that are general functions of a confusion matrix of a classifier (such as precision, F-measure, or G-mean). Such metrics are, in general, non-decomposable over individual instances,…

In 2010s Fleiner introduced a notion of stable flows in directed networks and showed that such a flow always exists and can be found by use of a reduction to the stable allocation problem due to Baiou and Balinski. Recently Cseh and…

Let p be a prime, and let M_p(n) denote the bit complexity of multiplying two polynomials in F_p[X] of degree less than n. For n large compared to p, we establish the bound M_p(n) = O(n log n 8^(log^* n) log p), where log^* is the iterated…
