Abstract— We describe a general method to transform a non-Markovian sequential decision problem into a supervised learning problem using a K-bestpaths algorithm. We consider an a...
Abstract--To reduce chip-scale topography variation in Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process, dummy fill is widely used to improve the layout density uniformity. Previous res...

Approximate text search is a basic technique to handle recognized text that contains recognition errors. This paper proposes an approximate string search for recognized text using...
We study the problem of minimizing the diameter of a graph by adding k shortcut edges, for speeding up communication in an existing network design. We develop constant-factor appro...
We give improved approximation algorithms for a variety of latency minimization problems. In particular, we give a 3.591 -approximation to the minimum latency problem, improving o...
