Active Learning on Trees and Graphs
We investigate the problem of active learning on a given tree whose nodes are assigned binary labels in an adversarial way. Inspired by recent results by Guillory and Bilmes, we c...

Local algorithms in (weakly) coloured graphs
A local algorithm is a distributed algorithm that completes after a constant number of synchronous communication rounds. We present local approximation algorithms for the minimum ...

An Approximation Scheme for Terrain Guarding
We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the terrain guarding problem improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algo...

Minimizing the Diameter of a Network Using Shortcut Edges
We study the problem of minimizing the diameter of a graph by adding k shortcut edges, for speeding up communication in an existing network design. We develop constant-factor appro...

Lattices that admit logarithmic worst-case to average-case connection factors
We demonstrate an average-case problem that is as hard as finding (n)-approximate shortest vectors in certain n-dimensional lattices in the worst case, where (n) = O( log n). The...
