Nearly optimal solutions for the chow parameters problem and low-weight approximation of halfspaces
The Chow parameters of a Boolean function f : {−1, 1}n → {−1, 1} are its n + 1 degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. It has been known since 1961 [Cho61, Tan61] that ...

On the Complexity of Join Predicates
We consider the complexity of join problems, focusing on equijoins, spatial-overlap joins, and set-containment joins. We use a graph pebbling model to characterize these joins com...

Gadgets, Approximation, and Linear Programming
We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...

Parametric Query Optimization for Linear and Piecewise Linear Cost Functions
The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...

Image Denoising in Mixed Poisson-Gaussian Noise
—We propose a general methodology (PURE-LET) to design and optimize a wide class of transform-domain thresholding algorithms for denoising images corrupted by mixed Poisson–Gau...
