Fast Approximate PCPs
We investigate the question of when a prover can aid a verifier to reliably compute a function faster than if the verifier were to compute the function on its own. Our focus is ...

VGRAM: Improving Performance of Approximate Queries on String Collections Using Variable-Length Grams
Many applications need to solve the following problem of approximate string matching: from a collection of strings, how to find those similar to a given string, or the strings in ...

Weighted Geometric Set Cover via Quasi-Uniform Sampling
There has been much progress on geometric set cover problems, but most known techniques only apply to the unweighted setting. For the weighted setting, very few results are known ...

Approximation Algorithms for 3D Orthogonal Knapsack
We study non-overlapping axis-parallel packings of 3D boxes with profits into a dedicated bigger box where rotation is either forbidden or permitted; we wish to maximize the total...

Inclusion--Exclusion Algorithms for Counting Set Partitions
Given an n-element set U and a family of subsets S ⊆ 2U we show how to count the number of k-partitions S1 ∪ · · · ∪ Sk = U into subsets Si ∈ S in time 2nnO(1). The only...
