Circular partitions with applications to visualization and embeddings
We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...

LCS Approximation via Embedding into Local Non-repetitive Strings
A classical measure of similarity between strings is the length of the longest common subsequence(LCS) between the two given strings. The search for efficient algorithms for findi...

On the geometry of graphs with a forbidden minor
We study the topological simplification of graphs via random embeddings, leading ultimately to a reduction of the Gupta-Newman-Rabinovich-Sinclair (GNRS) L1 embedding conjecture t...

Random Feature Maps for Dot Product Kernels
Approximating non-linear kernels using feature maps has gained a lot of interest in recent years due to applications in reducing training and testing times of SVM classifiers and...

Approximation Algorithms for Non-Uniform Buy-at-Bulk Network Design
We consider approximation algorithms for non-uniform buy-at-bulk network design problems. The first nontrivial approximation algorithm for this problem is due to Charikar and Kar...
