Cluster-Swap: A Distributed K-median Algorithm for Sensor Networks
In building practical sensor networks, it is often beneficial to use only a subset of sensors to take measurements because of computational, communication, and power limitations....

PCPs and the Hardness of Generating Synthetic Data
Assuming the existence of one-way functions, we show that there is no polynomial-time, differentially private algorithm A that takes a database D ({0, 1}d )n and outputs a "...

On the Hardness and Smoothed Complexity of Quasi-Concave Minimization
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...

Optimal Hardness Results for Maximizing Agreements with Monomials
We consider the problem of finding a monomial (or a term) that maximizes the agreement rate with a given set of examples over the Boolean hypercube. The problem is motivated by le...

Doing Good with Spam Is Hard
We study economic means to improve network performance in the well-known game theoretic traffic model due to Wardrop. We introduce two sorts of spam flow - auxiliary and adversari...
