In this paper, we introduce a method for approximating the solution to inference and optimization tasks in uncertain and deterministic reasoning. Such tasks are in general intract...
The subset sum problem (SSP) (given n numbers and a target bound B, find a subset of the numbers summing to B), is one of the classical NP-hard problems. The hardness of SSP vari...
Spatial databases support a variety of geometric queries on point data such as range searches, nearest neighbor searches, etc. Balanced Aspect Ratio (BAR) trees are hierarchical sp...
Abstract. We study the space complexity of randomized streaming algorithms that provide one-sided approximation guarantees; e.g., the algorithm always returns an overestimate of th...
—We study error estimating codes with the goal of establishing better bounds for the theoretical and empirical overhead of such schemes. We explore the idea of using sketch data ...
