Clustering for metric and nonmetric distance measures
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...

Collusion-aware traitor tracing in multimedia fingerprinting using sparse signal approximation
We pose the problem of tracing traitors, who have colluded to circumvent a multimedia fingerprinting system, as a sparse underdetermined linear problem. We propose a range of det...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...

How to get close to the median shape
In this paper, we study the problem of L1-fitting a shape to a set of point, where the target is to minimize the sum of distances of the points to the shape, or alternatively the...
