Random Ordinality Ensembles A Novel Ensemble Method for Multi-valued Categorical Data
Abstract. Data with multi-valued categorical attributes can cause major problems for decision trees. The high branching factor can lead to data fragmentation, where decisions have ...

On-line Randomized Call Control Revisited
We consider the problem of on-line call admission and routing on trees and meshes. Previous work gave randomized on-line algorithms for these problems and proved that they have opt...

A Knapsack Secretary Problem with Applications
We consider situations in which a decision-maker with a fixed budget faces a sequence of options, each with a cost and a value, and must select a subset of them online so as to ma...

ScrewBox: a Randomized Certifying Graph-Non-Isomorphism Algorithm
We present a novel randomized approach to the graph isomorphism problem. Our algorithm aims at solving difficult instances by producing randomized certificates for non-isomorphis...

Approximation of Natural W[P]-Complete Minimisation Problems Is Hard
We prove that the weighted monotone circuit satisfiability problem has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with constant or polylogarithmic approximation ratio un...
