: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...
In this paper we present a new approximation algorithm for the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem. Given an instance where the maximum acyclic subgraph contains 1/2 + δ fraction of all...

Generative topic models such as LDA are limited by their inability to utilize nontrivial input features to enhance their performance, and many topic models assume that topic assig...
— The aggregate capacity of wireless ad-hoc networks can be substantially increased if each wireless node is equipped with multiple network interface cards (NICs) and each NIC op...
Multitrajectory simulation allows explicit management of random events by allowing particular events to be resolved by random draw, by a deterministic choice, or by creating new s...
