We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...
XCSF is the extension of XCS in which classifier prediction is computed as a linear combination of classifier inputs and a weight vector associated to each classifier. XCSF can...

We study a class of algorithms that speed up the training process of support vector machines (SVMs) by returning an approximate SVM. We focus on algorithms that reduce the size of...
Bayesian learning, widely used in many applied data-modeling problems, is often accomplished with approximation schemes because it requires intractable computation of the posterio...
