چکیده

Random sampling techniques have played a vital role in the design of sorting and selection algorithms for numerous models of computing. In this article we provide a summary of sorting and selection algorithms that have been devised using random sampling. Models of computations treated include the parallel comparison tree, the PRAM, the mesh, the mesh with fixed, reconfigurable, and optical buses, the hypercube family, and parallel disk systems.

Random Sampling Techniques in Parallel Computation

Random sampling is an important tool in the design of parallel algorithms. Using random sampling it is possible to obtain simple parallel algorithms which are e cient in practice. We will focus on the use of random sampling in fundamental problems such as sorting, selection, list ranking and graph connectivity.

Algorithm Selection for Sorting and Probabilistic Inference : a Machine Learning - Based Approach

The algorithm selection problem aims at selecting the best algorithm for a given computational problem instance according to some characteristics of the instance. In this dissertation, we first introduce some results from theoretical investigation of the algorithm selection problem. We show, by Rice’s theorem, the nonexistence of an automatic algorithm selection program based only on the descri...

Derivation of Randomized Sorting and Selection Algorithms

In this paper we systematically derive randomized algorithms (both sequential and parallel) for sorting and selection from basic principles and fundamental techniques like random sampling. We prove several sampling lemmas which will find independent applications. The new algorithms derived here are the most efficient known. From among other results, we have an efficient algorithm for sequential...

Local Patch Vectors Encoded by Fisher Vectors for Image Classification

The objective of this work is image classification, whose purpose is to group images into corresponding semantic categories. Four contributions are made as follows: (i) For computational simplicity and efficiency, we directly adopt raw image patch vectors as local descriptors encoded by Fisher vector (FV) subsequently; (ii) For obtaining representative local features within the FV encoding fram...

Incremental Top-k List Comparison Approach to Robust Multi-Structure Model Fitting

Random hypothesis sampling lies at the core of many popular robust fitting techniques such as RANSAC. In this paper, we propose a novel hypothesis sampling scheme based on incremental computation of distances between partial rankings (top-k lists) derived from residual sorting information. Our method simultaneously (1) guides the sampling such that hypotheses corresponding to all true structure...
