An exact almost optimal algorithm for target set selection in social networks
The Target Set Selection problem proposed by Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos, gives a nice clean combinatorial formulation for many problems arising in economy, sociology, and medicin...

Unsupervised estimation for noisy-channel models
Shannon's Noisy-Channel model, which describes how a corrupted message might be reconstructed, has been the corner stone for much work in statistical language and speech proc...

Robust k-DNF Learning via Inductive Belief Merging
A central issue in logical concept induction is the prospect of inconsistency. This problem may arise due to noise in the training data, or because the target concept does not fit...

Truthful and Near-Optimal Mechanism Design via Linear Programming
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...

PrefIndex: An Efficient Supergraph Containment Search Technique
Graphs are prevailingly used in many applications to model complex data structures. In this paper, we study the problem of supergraph containment search. To avoid the NP-complete s...
