In many applications, one has to actively select among a set of expensive observations before making an informed decision. Often, we want to select observations which perform well...

This paper studies an extension of the k-median problem where we are given a metric space (V, d) and not just one but m client sets {Si V }m i=1, and the goal is to open k facili...

We study the Steiner Tree problem in the model of two-stage stochastic optimization with non-uniform inflation factors, and give a poly-logarithmic approximation factor for this pr...

We use techniques from sample-complexity in machine learning to reduce problems of incentive-compatible mechanism design to standard algorithmic questions, for a wide variety of r...

We give linear-time algorithms for a class of parametric search problems on weighted graphs of bounded tree-width. We also discuss the implications of our results to approximate p...
