Improving Web search efficiency via a locality based static pruning method
The unarguably fast, and continuous, growth of the volume of indexed (and indexable) documents on the Web poses a great challenge for search engines. This is true regarding not on...

Approximate counting by dynamic programming
We give efficient algorithms to sample uniformly, and count approximately, the solutions to a zero-one knapsack problem. The algorithm is based on using dynamic programming to pro...

Lower bounds on locality sensitive hashing
Given a metric space (X, dX), c ≥ 1, r > 0, and p, q ∈ [0, 1], a distribution over mappings H : X → N is called a (r, cr, p, q)-sensitive hash family if any two points in...

A Faster, Better Approximation Algorithm 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...
