Online Learning of Approximate Dependency Parsing Algorithms
In this paper we extend the maximum spanning tree (MST) dependency parsing framework of McDonald et al. (2005c) to incorporate higher-order feature representations and allow depen...

Achieving range-free localization beyond connectivity
Wireless sensor networks have been proposed for many location-dependent applications. In such applications, the requirement of low system cost prohibits many range-based methods f...

On the Complexity of Approximating the VC Dimension
We study the complexity of approximating the VC dimension of a collection of sets, when the sets are encoded succinctly by a small circuit. We show that this problem is • Σp 3-...

Hardness of Approximating the Shortest Vector Problem in Lattices
Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...
