Skew is prevalent in data streams, and should be taken into account by algorithms that analyze the data. The problem of finding "biased quantiles"-- that is, approximate...

Many algorithms for motif finding that are commonly used in bioinformatics start by sampling r potential motif occurrences from n input sequences. The motif is derived from these s...
This paper presents a novel online relevant set algorithm for a linearly-scored block sequence translation model. The key component is a new procedure to directly optimize the glob...
We derive a branch-and-bound algorithm to find an optimal inversion median of three signed permutations. The algorithm prunes to manageable size an extremely large search tree usi...
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the use of messagepassing algorithms for the problem of finding the max-weight independent set (MWIS) in a graph. First, we study the perfor...
