Interactive Submodular Set Cover
We introduce a natural generalization of submodular set cover and exact active learning with a finite hypothesis class (query learning). We call this new problem interactive submo...

Contour Approximation in Sensor Networks
Abstract. We propose a distributed scheme called Adaptive-GroupMerge for sensor networks that, given a parameter k, approximates a geometric shape by a k-vertex polygon. The algori...

On the Approximability of Maximum and Minimum Edge Clique Partition Problems
We consider the following clustering problems: given a general undirected graph, partition its vertices into disjoint clusters such that each cluster forms a clique and the number...

Approximation Algorithms for Non-Uniform Buy-at-Bulk Network Design
We consider approximation algorithms for non-uniform buy-at-bulk network design problems. The first nontrivial approximation algorithm for this problem is due to Charikar and Kar...

Point-based backup for decentralized POMDPs: complexity and new algorithms
Decentralized POMDPs provide an expressive framework for sequential multi-agent decision making. Despite their high complexity, there has been significant progress in scaling up e...
