WebDiarios de Motocicleta: International Olympiad, Day 2
http://infoweekly.blogspot.com/2011/07/international-olympiad-day-2.html
Informatics Weekly, written by Mihai Pătraşcu. Thursday, July 28, 2011. International Olympiad, Day 2. I suspect I got a lot of bad karma this day (I'm the evil mind behind "Crocodile" and "Elephant".) Congratulations to the winners! See here for final results. You have a weighted undirected graph with a start node and k. Designated target nodes. Two players play a full-information game, taking turns:. Find the minimum budget B such that Player 1 can reach a target node with cost ≤ B. Bytes (0.255) t...

WebDiarios de Motocicleta: September 2011
http://infoweekly.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Informatics Weekly, written by Mihai Pătraşcu. Monday, September 19, 2011. Follow-up: Sampling a discrete distribution. This is a follow-up to my last. On a puzzle about "Sampling a discrete distribution" (see my comment there for the solution I originally thought of). As an anonymous commenter (Rex? Imagine each sample in the distribution is a vase containing liquid proportional to the probability of the outcome. We classify these vases into 3 types:. Probability less than 1/n. Observe that the process ...

http://infoweekly.blogspot.com/2011/09/sampling-discrete-distribution.html
Informatics Weekly, written by Mihai Pătraşcu. Friday, September 16, 2011. Sampling a discrete distribution. The following cute question came up at lunch today (all credit goes to Aaron Archer. Informal challenge: You are given a discrete distribution with n. Possible outputs (and you know the probability p. Of each output), and you want to sample from the distribution. You can use a primitive that returns a random real number in [0,1]. Bit machine and probabilities have w. That is a cute question. The s...

Informatics Weekly, written by Mihai Pătraşcu. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Problem solving versus new techniques. This is a guest post by Mikkel Thorup:. I think there is nothing more inhibiting for problem solving than referees looking for new general techniques. Important problems should be solved whatever way comes natural. It may be deep problem specific understanding, and it may build on previous techniques. Why would we be disappointed if an old problem got solved by a surprising reuse o...Of di...

Informatics Weekly, written by Mihai Pătraşcu. Sunday, November 6, 2011. New York Theory Day. The Fall 2011 New York Theory Day. Is happening this Friday, November 11th, at NYU (Courant), and features yours truly as a speaker. I hope to see many of you there! Hi Mihai, I am just wondering if there is any proof showing that the problem P=NP is decidable? Wed Nov 30, 02:42:00 AM EST. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Web views/day on average.

My Biased Coin: The High Cost of Conferences
http://mybiasedcoin.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-high-cost-of-conferences.html
My take on computer science -. Algorithms, networking, information theory -. Friday, July 03, 2015. The High Cost of Conferences. At some point, I'm convinced the "conference structure" is going to fall apart. At some point, this becomes unsustainable, I think. Perhaps the High Cost of Disorganization. July 4, 2015 at 11:06 AM. Are flights really that expensive if you buy them in the US? July 4, 2015 at 12:48 PM. I was surprised that even your travel is subject to the US-carrier-only restriction. I t...
