Approximating Decision Trees with Multiway Branches
We consider the problem of constructing decision trees for entity identification from a given table. The input is a table containing information about a set of entities over a fi...

Phylogenetic Profiling of Insertions and Deletions in Vertebrate Genomes
Micro-indels are small insertion or deletion events (indels) that occur during genome evolution. The study of micro-indels is important, both in order to better understand the unde...

Latent Tree Models and Approximate Inference in Bayesian Networks
We propose a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian networks (BNs). The idea is to sample data from a BN, learn a latent tree model (LTM) from the data offline, and wh...

When crossings count - approximating the minimum spanning tree
We present an (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for computing the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings betwee...

A distributed approximation algorithm for the minimum degree minimum weight spanning trees
Fischer proposes in [4] a sequential algorithm to compute a minimum weight spanning tree of maximum degree at most b + logb n in time O n4+1/ln b for any constant b > 1, where ...
