Abstract. Nearest neighbor searching is a fundamental computational problem. A set of n data points is given in real d-dimensional space, and the problem is to preprocess these poi...
Submodular-function maximization is a central problem in combinatorial optimization, generalizing many important NP-hard problems including Max Cut in digraphs, graphs and hypergr...
