Local approximation schemes for topology control
This paper presents a distributed algorithm for wireless adhoc networks that runs in polylogarithmic number of rounds in the size of the network and constructs a lightweight, line...

Factorized variational approximations for acoustic multi source localization
Estimation based on received signal strength (RSS) is crucial in sensor networks for sensor localization, target tracking, etc. In this paper, we present a Gaussian approximation ...

Approximate Medians and other Quantiles in One Pass and with Limited Memory
We present new algorithms for computing approximate quantiles of large datasets in a single pass. The approximation guarantees are explicit, and apply without regard to the value ...

Fast computation of low rank matrix
Given a matrix A, it is often desirable to find a good approximation to A that has low rank. We introduce a simple technique for accelerating the computation of such approximation...

Simulating heavy tailed processes using delayed hazard rate twisting
Consider the problem of estimating the small probability that the maximum of a random walk exceeds a large threshold, when the process has a negative drift and the underlying rand...
