Given a graph G and a spanning tree T of G, we say that T is a tree t-spanner of G if the distance between every pair of vertices in T is at most t times their distance in G. The p...
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a popular tool for multiclass discriminative dimensionality reduction. However, LDA suffers from two major problems: (1) It only optimizes th...

Measuring the similarity between rhythms is a fundamental problem in computational music theory, with many applications such as music information retrieval and copyright infringem...
We present an O( √ n log n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding the sparsest spanner of a given directed graph G on n vertices. A spanner of a graph is a sparse ...

In order to solve nonstationary optimization problems efficiently, evolutionary algorithms need sufficient diversity to adapt to environmental changes. The dual-population genetic...
