Earth mover distance over high-dimensional spaces
The Earth Mover Distance (EMD) between two equalsize sets of points in Rd is defined to be the minimum cost of a bipartite matching between the two pointsets. It is a natural metr...

Approximate Global Alignment of Sequences
We propose two novel dynamic programming (DP) methods that solve the the approximate bounded and unbounded global alignment problems for biological sequences. Our first method so...

Approximate Nearest Neighbor Algorithms for Hausdorff Metrics via Embeddings
Hausdorff metrics are used in geometric settings for measuring the distance between sets of points. They have been used extensively in areas such as computer vision, pattern recog...

Stable Distributions, Pseudorandom Generators, Embeddings and Data Stream Computation
In this article, we show several results obtained by combining the use of stable distributions with pseudorandom generators for bounded space. In particular: —We show that, for a...
