Approximating node connectivity problems via set covers
Given a graph (directed or undirected) with costs on the edges, and an integer k, we consider the problem of nding a k-node connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost. For the ge...

Approximate Learning of Dynamic Models
Inference is a key component in learning probabilistic models from partially observable data. When learning temporal models, each of the many inference phases requires a complete ...

Separate and inequal: preserving heterogeneity in topical authority flows
Web pages, like people, are often known by others in a variety of contexts. When those contexts are sufficiently distinct, a page's importance may be better represented by mu...

Approximate counting by dynamic programming
We give efficient algorithms to sample uniformly, and count approximately, the solutions to a zero-one knapsack problem. The algorithm is based on using dynamic programming to pro...

Approximate distributed top- k queries
We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...
