We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...
Abstract The 2-Interval Pattern problem is to find the largest constrained pattern in a set of 2-intervals. The constrained pattern is a subset of the given 2-intervals such that ...
In this paper we consider solving a complex real life break scheduling problem. This problem of high practical relevance arises in many working areas, e.g. in air traffic control a...
Shape-based registration is a process for estimating the transformation between two shape representations of an object. It is used in many image-guided surgical systems to establis...
