Approximation Schemes for Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs and Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...

Interactive privacy via the median mechanism
We define a new interactive differentially private mechanism — the median mechanism — for answering arbitrary predicate queries that arrive online. Given fixed accuracy and...

Negative selection algorithms without generating detectors
Negative selection algorithms are immune-inspired classifiers that are trained on negative examples only. Classification is performed by generating detectors that match none of ...

From Interval Computations to Constraint-Related Set Computations: Towards Faster Estimation of Statistics and ODEs under Interv
Interval computations estimate the uncertainty of the result of data processing in situations in which we only know the upper bounds ∆ on the measurement errors. In this case, ba...

Extracting Randomness from Samplable Distributions
Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...
