Space- and time-efficient deterministic algorithms for biased quantiles over data streams
Skew is prevalent in data streams, and should be taken into account by algorithms that analyze the data. The problem of finding "biased quantiles"-- that is, approximate...

Counting Inversions, Offline Orthogonal Range Counting, and Related Problems
We give an O(n lg n)-time algorithm for counting the number of inversions in a permutation on n elements. This improves a long-standing previous bound of O(n lg n/ lg lg n) that ...

Randomised Language Modelling for Statistical Machine Translation
A Bloom filter (BF) is a randomised data structure for set membership queries. Its space requirements are significantly below lossless information-theoretic lower bounds but it ...

Approximating Minimum Bending Energy Path in a Simple Corridor
Abstract. In this paper, we consider the problem of computing a minimum bending energy path (or MinBEP) in a simple corridor. Given a simple 2D corridor C bounded by straight line ...

A PTAS for a Disc Covering Problem Using Width-Bounded Separators
In this paper, we study the following disc covering problem: Given a set of discs of various radii on the plane, find a subset of discs to maximize the area covered by exactly on...
