Estimating the unseen: A sublinear-sample canonical estimator of distributions
We introduce a new approach to characterizing the unobserved portion of a distribution, which provides sublinear-sample additive estimators for a class of properties that includes...

Time-Indexed Formulations for Machine Scheduling Problems: Column Generation
Time-indexed formulations for machine scheduling problems have received a great deal of attention; not only do the linear programming relaxations provide strong lower bounds, but ...

Sublinear Algorithms for Approximating String Compressibility
We raise the question of approximating the compressibility of a string with respect to a fixed compression scheme, in sublinear time. We study this question in detail for two popu...

Distributed localization using noisy distance and angle information
Localization is an important and extensively studied problem in ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. Given the connectivity graph of the sensor nodes, along with additional local info...

Coresets for polytope distance
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...
