On Non-Approximability for Quadratic Programs
This paper studies the computational complexity of the following type of quadratic programs: given an arbitrary matrix whose diagonal elements are zero, find x ∈ {−1, +1}n th...

Fast approximate correlation for massive time-series data
We consider the problem of computing all-pair correlations in a warehouse containing a large number (e.g., tens of thousands) of time-series (or, signals). The problem arises in a...

Approximating the Minimum Spanning Tree Weight in Sublinear Time
We present a probabilistic algorithm that, given a connected graph G (represented by adjacency lists) of average degree d, with edge weights in the set {1, . . . , w}, and given a ...

A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...

Bit-Parallel Witnesses and Their Applications to Approximate String Matching
We present a new bit-parallel technique for approximate string matching. We build on two previous techniques. The first one, BPM [Myers, J. of the ACM, 1999], searches for a patte...
