Combinatorial Auctions with Structured Item Graphs
Combinatorial auctions (CAs) are important mechanisms for allocating interrelated items. Unfortunately, winner determination is NP-complete unless there is special structure. We s...

Separator-based data reduction for signed graph balancing
Abstract Polynomial-time data reduction is a classical approach to hard graph problems. Typically, particular small subgraphs are replaced by smaller gadgets. We generalize this ap...

Constructive Proofs of Concentration Bounds
We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...

Friends of an enemy: identifying local members of peer-to-peer botnets using mutual contacts
In this work we show that once a single peer-to-peer (P2P) bot is detected in a network, it may be possible to efficiently identify other members of the same botnet in the same ne...

Vertex neighborhoods, low conductance cuts, and good seeds for local community methods
The communities of a social network are sets of vertices with more connections inside the set than outside. We theoretically demonstrate that two commonly observed properties of s...
