For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...
Sequence segmentation is a central problem in the analysis of sequential and time-series data. In this paper we introduce and we study a novel variation to the segmentation proble...
Given a set of rectangles with fixed orientations, we want to find an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that contains them all with no overlap. Many simple scheduling tasks ca...
This article shows how rational analysis can be used to minimize learning cost for a general class of statistical learning problems. We discuss the factors that influence learning...
The Minimum-Energy Broadcast problem is to assign a transmission range to every station of an ad-hoc wireless networks so that (i) a given source station is allowed to perform bro...
