An Improved Competitive Algorithm for Reordering Buffer Management
We design and analyze an on-line reordering buffer management algorithm with improved O log k log log k competitive ratio for non-uniform costs, where k is the buffer size. This i...

Noisy K Best-Paths for Approximate Dynamic Programming with Application to Portfolio Optimization
Abstract— We describe a general method to transform a non-Markovian sequential decision problem into a supervised learning problem using a K-bestpaths algorithm. We consider an a...

Learning the k in k-means
When clustering a dataset, the right number k of clusters to use is often not obvious, and choosing k automatically is a hard algorithmic problem. In this paper we present an impr...

Faster approximation algorithms for the minimum latency problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...

Approximating node connectivity problems via set covers
Given a graph (directed or undirected) with costs on the edges, and an integer k, we consider the problem of nding a k-node connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost. For the ge...
