Interactive Submodular Set Cover
We introduce a natural generalization of submodular set cover and exact active learning with a finite hypothesis class (query learning). We call this new problem interactive submo...

Epsilon nets and union complexity
We consider the following combinatorial problem: given a set of n objects (for example, disks in the plane, triangles), and an integer L ≥ 1, what is the size of the smallest su...

Tight Results on Minimum Entropy Set Cover
In the minimum entropy set cover problem, one is given a collection of k sets which collectively cover an n-element ground set. A feasible solution of the problem is a partition o...

Rounding to an Integral Program
We present a general framework for approximating several NP-hard problems that have two underlying properties in common. First, the problems we consider can be formulated as intege...
