Efficient MD Coding Core Selection to Reduce the Bandwidth Consumption
- Multiple distribution trees and multiple description (MD) coding are highly robust since they provide redundancy both in network paths and data. However, MD coded streaming inclu...

Approximating predicates and expressive queries on probabilistic databases
We study complexity and approximation of queries in an expressive query language for probabilistic databases. The language studied supports the compositional use of confidence com...

Restart Schedules for Ensembles of Problem Instances
The mean running time of a Las Vegas algorithm can often be dramatically reduced by periodically restarting it with a fresh random seed. The optimal restart schedule depends on th...

Approximation Algorithms for Shortest Descending Paths in Terrains
A path from s to t on a polyhedral terrain is descending if the height of a point p never increases while we move p along the path from s to t. No efficient algorithm is known to ...
