Computing Expected Runtimes for Constant Probability Programs [PDF]
We introduce the class of constant probability (CP) programs and show that classical results from probability theory directly yield a simple decision procedure for (positive) almost sure termination of programs in this class. Moreover, asymptotically tight bounds on their expected runtime can always be computed easily.

Key Concepts, Weakness and Benchmark on Hash Table Data Structures
Most computer programs or applications need fast data structures. The performance of a data structure is necessarily influenced by the complexity of its common operations; thus, any data-structure that exhibits a theoretical complexity of amortized ...

Solving Connectivity Problems Parameterized by Treedepth in Single-Exponential Time and Polynomial Space [PDF]
A breakthrough result of Cygan et al. (FOCS 2011) showed that connectivity problems parameterized by treewidth can be solved much faster than the previously best known time ?^*(2^{?(twlog tw)}). Using their inspired Cut&Count technique, they obtained ?^*(

OPT-RNN-DBSVM: OPTimal Recurrent Neural Network and Density-Based Support Vector Machine
When implementing SVMs, two major problems are encountered: (a) the number of local minima of dual-SVM increases exponentially with the number of samples and (b) the computer storage memory required for a regular quadratic programming solver increases ...
