An optimal filtering algorithm for non-parametric observation models in robot localization
— The lack of a parameterized observation model in robot localization using occupancy grids requires the application of sampling-based methods, or particle filters. This work ad...

A PTAS for Node-Weighted Steiner Tree in Unit Disk Graphs
Abstract. The node-weighted Steiner tree problem is a variation of classical Steiner minimum tree problem. Given a graph G = (V, E) with node weight function C : V → R+ and a sub...

On the Power of Randomization in Algorithmic Mechanism Design
In many settings the power of truthful mechanisms is severely bounded. In this paper we use randomization to overcome this problem. In particular, we construct an FPTAS for multi-...

Fast computation of the median by successive binning
In many important problems, one uses the median instead of the mean to estimate a population's center, since the former is more robust. But in general, computing the median i...

From query complexity to computational complexity
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...
