On distance to monotonicity and longest increasing subsequence of a data stream
In this paper we consider problems related to the sortedness of a data stream. First we investigate the problem of estimating the distance to monotonicity; given a sequence of len...

Approximation Schemes for Euclidean k-Medians and Related Problems
In the k-median problem we are given a set S of n points in a metric space and a positive integer k. We desire to locate k medians in space, such that the sum of the distances fro...

Approximating Edit Distance Efficiently
Edit distance has been extensively studied for the past several years. Nevertheless, no linear-time algorithm is known to compute the edit distance between two strings, or even to...

Using Constraint Programming for Solving Distance CSP with Uncertainty
Many problems in chemistry, robotics or molecular biology can be expressed as a Distance CSP4 . In this paper, we propose a specific methodology for tackling uncertainties in this...

Clustering for metric and non-metric distance measures
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P, our goal is to find a set C of size k such that the s...
