Query optimizers rely on fast, high-quality estimates of result sizes in order to select between various join plans. Selfjoin sizes of relations provide bounds on the join size of...

This paper presents a line of research in genetic algorithms (GAs), called building-block identification. The building blocks (BBs) are common structures inferred from a set of sol...
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
We give an algorithm that learns any monotone Boolean function f : {-1, 1}n {-1, 1} to any constant accuracy, under the uniform distribution, in time polynomial in n and in the de...
Abstract. We study two-stage robust variants of combinatorial optimization problems like Steiner tree, Steiner forest, and uncapacitated facility location. The robust optimization ...
