We prove the following inequality: for every positive integer n and every collection X1, . . . , Xn of nonnegative independent random variables that each has expectation 1, the pr...
In this paper, we introduce a generalized version of the Watchman Route Problem (WRP) where the objective is to plan a continuous closed route in a polygon (possibly with holes) a...
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...
Random Indexing is a vector space technique that provides an efficient and scalable approximation to distributional similarity problems. We present experiments showing Random Inde...
Consensus clustering is the problem of reconciling clustering information about the same data set coming from different sources or from different runs of the same algorithm. Cast ...
