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...

Bayesian Poisson regression for crowd counting
Poisson regression models the noisy output of a counting function as a Poisson random variable, with a log-mean parameter that is a linear function of the input vector. In this wo...

Approximating the independent domatic partition problem in random geometric graphs - an experimental study
We investigate experimentally the Domatic Partition (DP) problem, the Independent Domatic Partition (IDP) problem and the Idomatic partition problem in Random Geometric Graphs (RG...

Primal-Dual RNC Approximation Algorithms for Set Cover and Covering Integer Programs
We build on the classical greedy sequential set cover algorithm, in the spirit of the primal-dual schema, to obtain simple parallel approximation algorithms for the set cover probl...

Donation Center Location Problem
We introduce and study the donation center location problem, which has an additional application in network testing and may also be of independent interest as a general graph-theor...
