Efficient and private distance approximation in the communication and streaming models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis studies distance approximation in two closely related models - the streaming model and the two-party communication model. In the streaming model, a massive data stream is presented in an arbitrary order to a ... -
Efficient and proven verification of unreliable hardware executions of classic algorithms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Lowering voltage and frequency guardbands of CPU, DRAM, cache, or interconnect lowers power and latency, but increases the risk of silent data corruptions in even formally verified hardware and software. Researchers have ... -
Efficient and Robust Algorithms for Practical Machine Learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Machine learning models are biased when trained on biased datasets. Many recent approaches have been proposed to mitigate biases when they are identified a priori. However in real-world applications, annotating biases is ... -
Efficient and robust routing of highly variable traffic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Many emerging applications for the Internet are characterized by highly variable traffic behavior over time that is difficult to predict. Classical approaches to network design rely on a model in which a single traffic ... -
Efficient approaches to robust and cooperative wireless network design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In wireless networks, relaying and user cooperation offer several attractive benefits such as higher throughput, better power efficiency, and larger coverage. As a result, cooperative networks are regarded as one of the ... -
