Approximate queries on a collection of strings are important in many applications such as record linkage, spell checking, and Web search, where inconsistencies and errors exist in...
Fast and frugal heuristics are well studied models of bounded rationality. Psychological research has proposed the take-the-best heuristic as a successful strategy in decision mak...
We continue the recent line of work on the connection between semidefinite programming-based approximation algorithms and the Unique Games Conjecture. Given any boolean 2-CSP (or...
The comprehensive annotation of non-coding RNAs in newly sequenced genomes is still a largely unsolved problem because many functional RNAs exhibit not only poorly conserved sequen...
Aggregate monitoring over data streams is attracting more and more attention in research community due to its broad potential applications. Existing methods suffer two problems, 1...
