— Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) is often used to evaluate ranking performance in binary classification problems. Several researchers have approached AUC optimization by approxi...
Production scheduling, the problem of sequentially con guring a factory to meet forecasted demands, is a critical problem throughout the manufacturing industry. The requirement of...

Abstract--This work studies the near-optimality versus the complexity of distributed configuration management for wireless networks. We first develop a global probabilistic graphic...
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...
Background: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of polymorphisms found in the human genome. Effective genetic association studies require the identific...
