Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Subset-Connectivity Problems in Bounded-Genus Graphs
We present the first polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASes) for the following subset-connectivity problems in edge-weighted graphs of bounded genus: Steiner tree, low-conn...

A Multi-Round Communication Lower Bound for Gap Hamming and Some Consequences
—The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to...

A Lower Bound for Dynamic Scheduling of Data Parallel Programs
Instruction Balanced Time Slicing IBTS allows multiple parallel jobs to be scheduled in a manner akin to the well-known gang scheduling scheme in parallel computers. IBTS however a...

Approximate Nearest Neighbor Algorithms for Hausdorff Metrics via Embeddings
Hausdorff metrics are used in geometric settings for measuring the distance between sets of points. They have been used extensively in areas such as computer vision, pattern recog...

Independent component analysis by entropy bound minimization
A novel (differential) entropy estimator is introduced where the maximum entropy bound is used to approximate the entropy given the observations, and is computed using a numerical ...
