Kac's random walk and coupon collector's process on posets
… part of this work, we study a long standing open problem on the mixing time of Kac's random walk on SO(n, R) by random rotations. We obtain an upper bound mix = O (n2.5 log n) for the weak convergence which is close to the trivial lower bound [Omega] (n2). This improves the upper bound O (n4 log …

Query K-means clustering for crowdsourcing
… focuses on solving the $K$-means clustering problem approximately with side information provided by crowdsourcing. Both binary same-cluster oracle and general crowdsourcing framework are considered. It can be shown that, under some mild assumptions on the smallest cluster size, one can obtain …
