Summarizing large multidimensional datasets is a challenging task, often requiring extensive investigation by a user to identify overall trends and important exceptions to them. W...
We prove that any one-pass streaming algorithm which ( , )-approximates the kth frequency moment Fk, for any real k = 1 and any = 1 m , must use 1 2 bits of space, where m is th...
Surveys and opinion polls are extremely popular in the media, especially in the months preceding a general election. However, the available tools for analyzing poll results often r...
This paper deals with approximation algorithms for the prize collecting generalized Steiner forest problem, defined as follows. The input is an undirected graph G = (V, E), a colle...
We present an improved oracle for the distance sensitivity problem. The goal is to preprocess a directed graph G = (V, E) with non-negative edge weights to answer queries of the f...
