In all these cases, plugging in random numbers at certain steps in the algorithm helps researchers account for uncertainty about the many ways that complex processes can play out. But adding ...

To rob the adversary of some of its power, researchers use algorithms that include random decisions. Like most researchers, Rabani and his co-authors — Sébastien Bubeck of Microsoft Research and ...

The power of randomness is one of the most enduring mysteries of computation. In the last 30+ years, several algorithms have been designed which crucially use randomness and beat their deterministic ...

Distributed Random Embedding Mechanism: this mechanism uses specific random algorithms to embed key IP identifiers into various nodes across the blockchain in a distributed, concealed, and ...

Specific algorithms have hyperparameters that control the shape of their search. For example, a Random Forest Classifier has hyperparameters for minimum samples per leaf, max depth, minimum ...
