Incremental Algorithms for Hierarchical Classification
We study the problem of hierarchical classification when labels corresponding to partial and/or multiple paths in the underlying taxonomy are allowed. We introduce a new hierarchi...

Public-Key Cryptosystems from the Worst-Case Shortest Vector Problem
We construct public-key cryptosystems that are secure assuming the worst-case hardness of approximating the minimum distance on n-dimensional lattices to within small poly(n) fact...

On sums of independent random variables with unbounded variance, and estimating the average degree in a graph
We prove the following inequality: for every positive integer n and every collection X1, . . . , Xn of nonnegative independent random variables that each has expectation 1, the pr...

Approximate Nearest Neighbor Queries in Fixed Dimensions
Given a set of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space, S ⊂ Ed , and a query point q ∈ Ed , we wish to determine the nearest neighbor of q, that is, the point of S whose Euc...

Approximating Single Machine Scheduling with Scenarios
In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effor...
