Approximating the Stochastic Knapsack Problem: The Benefit of Adaptivity
We consider a stochastic variant of the NP-hard 0/1 knapsack problem in which item values are deterministic and item sizes are independent random variables with known, arbitrary d...

Approximate Query Answering by Model Averaging
In earlier work we have introduced and explored a variety of different probabilistic models for the problem of answering selectivity queries posed to large sparse binary data set...

Approximate distance queries and compact routing in sparse graphs
—An approximate distance query data structure is a compact representation of a graph, and can be queried to approximate shortest paths between any pair of vertices. Any such data...
