Information filtering systems constitute a critical component in modern information seeking applications. As the number of users grows and the information available becomes even bi...
We study the problem of estimating the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) between probability distributions when given access only to samples of the distributions. We give closeness t...

In this paper we present a sublinear time (1+ )-approximation randomized algorithm to estimate the weight of the minimum spanning tree of an n-point metric space. The running time...
We design polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for Metric BISECTION, i.e. dividing a given finite metric space into two halves so as to minimize or maximize the sum of di...

Sets of local features that are invariant to common image transformations are an effective representation to use when comparing images; current methods typically judge feature set...
