The Value of Agreement, a New Boosting Algorithm
We present a new generalization bound where the use of unlabeled examples results in a better ratio between training-set size and the resulting classifier’s quality and thus red...

Efficient Merging and Filtering Algorithms for Approximate String Searches
We study the following problem: how to efficiently find in a collection of strings those similar to a given query string? Various similarity functions can be used, such as edit dis...

Lattice Basis Reduction with Dynamic Approximation
Abstract. In this paper we present a heuristic based on dynamic approximations for improving the well-known Schnorr-Euchner lattice basis reduction algorithm. In particular, the ne...

Paths, Trees, and Minimum Latency Tours
We give improved approximation algorithms for a variety of latency minimization problems. In particular, we give a 3.591 -approximation to the minimum latency problem, improving o...
