A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-Median Problem
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for the metric k-median problem. The k-median problem is one of the most well-studied clustering problems, i.e., those...

Combining Approximation and Relaxation in Semantic Web Path Queries
We develop query relaxation techniques for regular path queries and combine them with query approximation in order to support flexible querying of RDF data when the user lacks know...

VGRAM: Improving Performance of Approximate Queries on String Collections Using Variable-Length Grams
Many applications need to solve the following problem of approximate string matching: from a collection of strings, how to find those similar to a given string, or the strings in ...

Medial axis approximation and unstable flow complex
The medial axis of a shape is known to carry a lot of information about it. In particular a recent result of Lieutier establishes that every bounded open subset of Rn has the same...
