Given a general graph G, a fundamental problem is to find a spanning tree H that best approximates G by some measure. Often this measure is some combination of the congestion and...
Following recent work of Clarkson, we translate the coreset framework to the problems of finding the point closest to the origin inside a polytope, finding the shortest distance...
In many classification applications, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have proven to be highly performing and easy to handle classifiers with very good generalization abilities. Howe...
