Optimal Inapproximability Results for Max-Cut and Other 2-Variable CSPs?
In this paper we show a reduction from the Unique Games problem to the problem of approximating MAX-CUT to within a factor of GW + , for all > 0; here GW .878567 denotes the a...

On the Difficulty of Designing Good Classifiers
We consider the problem of designing a near-optimal linear decision tree to classify two given point sets B and W in n. A linear decision tree de nes a polyhedral subdivision of sp...

Functionally Private Approximations of Negligibly-Biased Estimators
ABSTRACT. We study functionally private approximations. An approximation function g is functionally private with respect to f if, for any input x, g(x) reveals no more information ...

Path following algorithm for the graph matching problem
We propose a convex-concave programming approach for the labeled weighted graph matching problem. The convex-concave programming formulation is obtained by rewriting the weighted ...
