Hardness of Optimal Spaced Seed Design
Abstract. Speeding up approximate pattern matching is a line of research in stringology since the 80’s. Practically fast approaches belong to the class of filtration algorithms,...

Hierarchical POMDP Controller Optimization by Likelihood Maximization
Planning can often be simplified by decomposing the task into smaller tasks arranged hierarchically. Charlin et al. [4] recently showed that the hierarchy discovery problem can be...

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...

On the Approximability of Budgeted Allocations and Improved Lower Bounds for Submodular Welfare Maximization and GAP
In this paper we consider the following maximum budgeted allocation (MBA) problem: Given a set of m indivisible items and n agents; each agent i willing to pay bij on item j and w...

Symmetry and Approximability of Submodular Maximization Problems
Abstract— A number of recent results on optimization problems involving submodular functions have made use of the ”multilinear relaxation” of the problem [3], [8], [24], [14]...
