Improved scheduling in rings
We study the problem of scheduling unit size jobs on n processors connected by a ring. We show a distributed algorithm for this problem with an approximation ratio of 3 2 + √ 2....

Algorithmics in Exponential Time
Exponential algorithms, i.e. algorithms of complexity O(cn ) for some c > 1, seem to be unavoidable in the case of NP-complete problems (unless P=NP), especially if the problem ...

Approximate Parameter Learning in Conditional Random Fields: An Empirical Investigation
We investigate maximum likelihood parameter learning in Conditional Random Fields (CRF) and present an empirical study of pseudo-likelihood (PL) based approximations of the paramet...

Algorithms for the Database Layout Problem
We present a formal analysis of the database layout problem, i.e., the problem of determining how database objects such as tables and indexes are assigned to disk drives. Optimizin...

On Variants of the Matroid Secretary Problem
We present a number of positive and negative results for variants of the matroid secretary problem. Most notably, we design a constant-factor competitive algorithm for the “rando...
