Abstract— A number of recent results on optimization problems involving submodular functions have made use of the ”multilinear relaxation” of the problem [3], [8], [24], [14]...
Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Haar wavelets in reducing large amounts of data down to compact wavelet synopses that can be used to obtain fast, accurate a...

String data is ubiquitous, and its management has taken on particular importance in the past few years. Approximate queries are very important on string data especially for more c...
We introduce a new domain-independent framework for formulating and efficiently evaluating similarity queries over historical data, where given a history as a sequence of timestam...
We review the notion of hypertree width, a measure of the degree of cyclicity of hypergraphs that is useful for identifying and solving efficiently easy instances of hard problems...
