We consider the problem of maximizing a nonnegative (possibly non-monotone) submodular set function with or without constraints. Feige et al. [9] showed a 2/5-approximation for th...
Abstract-- We consider the Top-k Approximate Subtree Matching (TASM) problem: finding the k best matches of a small query tree, e.g., a DBLP article with 15 nodes, in a large docum...

Let (L, ∗) be a semilattice, and let c : L → [0, ∞) be monotone and increasing on L. We state the Minimum Join problem as: given size n sub-collection X of L and integer k w...
In real systems, such as operating systems, the scheduler is often unaware of the remaining work in each job or of the ability of the job to take advantage of more resources. In th...
In comparing genomic maps, it is often difficult to distinguish mapping errors and incorrectly resolved paralogies from genuine rearrangements of the genomes. A solution to this ...
