Private Approximation of Clustering and Vertex Cover
Private approximation of search problems deals with finding approximate solutions to search problems while disclosing as little information as possible. The focus of this work is ...

A space-optimal data-stream algorithm for coresets in the plane
Given a point set P R2 , a subset Q P is an -kernel of P if for every slab W containing Q, the (1+)-expansion of W also contains P. We present a data-stream algorithm for mainta...

An ACO Algorithm for the Most Probable Explanation Problem
We describe an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm, ANT-MPE, for the most probable explanation problem in Bayesian network inference. After tuning its parameters settings, we c...

Vertex Cover Approximations: Experiments and Observations
The vertex cover problem is a classic NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is roughly 2. In this paper, we use a collection of simple reductions, e...

Estimating Genome Reversal Distance by Genetic Algorithm
Sorting by reversals is an important problem in inferring the evolutionary relationship between two genomes. The problem of sorting unsigned permutation has been proven to be NP-ha...
