Submodular-function maximization is a central problem in combinatorial optimization, generalizing many important NP-hard problems including Max Cut in digraphs, graphs and hypergr...
Let A and B be strings with lengths m and n, respectively, over a finite integer alphabet. Two classic string mathing problems are computing the edit distance between A and B, and...
: We initiate the study of local, sublinear time algorithms for finding vertices with extreme topological properties -- such as high degree or clustering coefficient -- in large so...
Consistent query answering is the problem of computing the answers from a database that are consistent with respect to certain integrity constraints that the database as a whole ma...

: We consider the Submodular Welfare Problem where we have m items and n players with given utility functions wi : 2[m] R+. The utility functions are assumed to be monotone and su...
