VGRAM: Improving Performance of Approximate Queries on String Collections Using Variable-Length Grams
Many applications need to solve the following problem of approximate string matching: from a collection of strings, how to find those similar to a given string, or the strings in ...

Separation and Approximation of Polyhedral Objects
Given a family of disjoint polygons P1, P2, : : :, Pk in the plane, and an integer parameter m, it is NP-complete to decide if the Pi's can be pairwise separated by a polygon...

Approximation Resistant Predicates from Pairwise Independence
We study the approximability of predicates on k variables from a domain [q], and give a new sufficient condition for such predicates to be approximation resistant under the Unique...

An Improved Approximation Scheme for Computing Arrow-Debreu Prices for the Linear Case
Recently, Jain, Mahdian and Saberi [5] had given a FPTAS for the problem of computing a market equilibrium in the Arrow-Debreu setting, when the utilities are linear functions. The...

Reinforcement Learning via AIXI Approximation
This paper introduces a principled approach for the design of a scalable general reinforcement learning agent. This approach is based on a direct approximation of AIXI, a Bayesian...
