Aesthetics matter: leveraging design heuristics to synthesize visually satisfying handheld interfaces
We present a tool for automatically generating UI layouts for handheld devices based on design principles. This tool introduces a gestalt approach to visual interface design rathe...

Goldreich's One-Way Function Candidate and Myopic Backtracking Algorithms
Abstract. Goldreich (ECCC 2000) proposed a candidate one-way function construction which is parameterized by the choice of a small predicate (over d = O(1) variables) and of a bipa...

Generalized hypertree decompositions: np-hardness and tractable variants
The generalized hypertree width GHW(H) of a hypergraph H is a measure of its cyclicity. Classes of conjunctive queries or constraint satisfaction problems whose associated hypergr...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...
