Optimal Column-Based Low-Rank Matrix Reconstruction
We prove that for any real-valued matrix X ∈ Rm×n , and positive integers r k, there is a subset of r columns of X such that projecting X onto their span gives a r+1 r−k+1 -a...

The Optimal Human Ventral Stream from Estimates of the Complexity of Visual Objects
The part of the primate visual cortex responsible for the recognition of objects is parcelled into about a dozen areas organized somewhat hierarchically (the region is called the v...

Near-Optimal Sublinear Time Algorithms for Ulam Distance
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...

Playing games with approximation algorithms
In an online linear optimization problem, on each period t, an online algorithm chooses st S from a fixed (possibly infinite) set S of feasible decisions. Nature (who may be adve...

Learning Useful Horn Approximations
While the task of answering queries from an arbitrary propositional theory is intractable in general, it can typicallybe performed e ciently if the theory is Horn. This suggests t...
