Nick Harvey has a course on Randomized Algorithms. You could have a look at the recommended reading list he provides, which is broken down by topic. http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~harvey/W11/

I also agree that this is not a duplicate: the key point is 'applied'

# Texts on application of randomized algorithms

(Asked by: username_0 on 2011-01-27)

as far as I know, Motwani & Raghavan, ”[Randomized Algorithms](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0521474655)”, Cambridge University Press, 1995 is the standard book for randomized algorithms. This is an excellent theoretical intro.

Which is another book (or book containing chapters) on applied randomized algorithms, especially on image processing, bioinformatics or pattern matching.

Thanks,
Lucian
