: Covariance matrices capture correlations that are invaluable in modeling real-life datasets. Using all d2 elements of the covariance (in d dimensions) is costly and could result ...
This article studies a degree-bounded generalization of independent sets called co-k-plexes. Constant factor approximation algorithms are developed for the maximum co-k-plex probl...
The purpose of this paper is to develop parameter transformation strategies that improve the accuracy of the Variational Bayes (VB) approximation. The idea is to find a transform...
Recently, Hazan and Krauthgamer showed [12] that if, for a fixed small ε, an ε-best ε-approximate Nash equilibrium can be found in polynomial time in two-player games, then it ...
In the k-median problem we are given a set S of n points in a metric space and a positive integer k. We desire to locate k medians in space, such that the sum of the distances fro...
