Approximating Hit Rate Curves using Streaming Algorithms
A hit rate curve is a function that maps cache size to the proportion of requests that can be served from the cache. (The caching policy and sequence of requests are assumed to be...

Decomposing Overcomplete 3rd Order Tensors using Sum-of-Squares Algorithms
Tensor rank and low-rank tensor decompositions have many applications in learning and complexity theory. Most known algorithms use unfoldings of tensors and can only handle rank u...

Tighter Connections between Derandomization and Circuit Lower Bounds
We tighten the connections between circuit lower bounds and derandomization for each of the following three types of derandomization: general derandomization of promise-BPP (conne...

Fully Dynamic Bin Packing Revisited
We consider the fully dynamic bin packing problem, where items arrive and depart in an online fashion and repacking of previously packed items is allowed. The goal is, of course, ...

Correlation in Hard Distributions in Communication Complexity
We study the effect that the amount of correlation in a bipartite distribution has on the communication complexity of a problem under that distribution. We introduce a new family...

Average Distance Queries through Weighted Samples in Graphs and Metric Spaces: High Scalability with Tight Statistical Guarantee
The average distance from a node to all other nodes in a graph, or from a query point in a metric space to a set of points, is a fundamental quantity in data analysis. The inverse...
