We present a new (1 + ε)-spanner for sets of n points in Rd . Our spanner has size O(n/εd−1 ) and maximum degree O(logd n). The main advantage of our spanner is that it can be...
An estimation algorithm for a query is a probabilistic algorithm that computes an approximation for the size (number of tuples) of the query. One class of estimation algorithms us...
RankBoost is a recently proposed algorithm for learning ranking functions. It is simple to implement and has strong justifications from computational learning theory. We describe...

We study the concept of bribery in the situation where voters are willing to change their votes as we ask them, but where their prices depend on the nature of the change we reques...
We present a new multi-dimensional data structure, which we call the skip quadtree (for point data in R2) or the skip octree (for point data in Rd, with constant d > 2). Our da...
