From query complexity to computational complexity
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...

CABOB: A Fast Optimal Algorithm for Combinatorial Auctions
Combinatorial auctions where bidders can bid on bundles of items can lead to more economical allocations, but determining the winners is NP-complete and inapproximable. We present...

Differentially Private Combinatorial Optimization
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...

Inapproximability Results for Combinatorial Auctions with Submodular Utility Functions
We consider the following allocation problem arising in the setting of combinatorial auctions: a set of goods is to be allocated to a set of players so as to maximize the sum of t...
