A Fast 5/2-Approximation Algorithm for Hierarchical Scheduling
We present in this article a new approximation algorithm for scheduling a set of n independent rigid (meaning requiring a fixed number of processors) jobs on hierarchical parallel ...

Fast query expansion using approximations of relevance models
Pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) improves search quality by expanding the query using terms from high-ranking documents from an initial retrieval. Although PRF can often result in ...

Fast k-Means Algorithms with Constant Approximation
In this paper we study the k-means clustering problem. It is well-known that the general version of this problem is NP-hard. Numerous approximation algorithms have been proposed fo...

Fast approximation of the permanent for very dense problems
Approximation of the permanent of a matrix with nonnegative entries is a well studied problem. The most successful approach to date for general matrices uses Markov chains to appr...
