We analyze an extremely simple approximation algorithm for computing the minimum enclosing ball (or the 1-center) of a set of points in high dimensions. We prove that this algorit...
This paper introduces the Point-Based Value Iteration (PBVI) algorithm for POMDP planning. PBVI approximates an exact value iteration solution by selecting a small set of represen...

Abstract. Molecular shapes play an important role in molecular interactions, e.g., between a protein and a ligand. The `outer' shape of a molecule can be approximated by its s...
Clustering is a common problem in the analysis of large data sets. Streaming algorithms, which make a single pass over the data set using small working memory and produce a cluster...
