High-Speed Function Approximation
We address a new learning problem where the goal is to build a predictive model that minimizes prediction time (the time taken to make a prediction) subject to a constraint on mod...

Two for One: Tight Approximation of 2D Bin Packing
In this paper, we study the two-dimensional geometrical bin packing problem (2DBP): given a list of rectangles, provide a packing of all these into the smallest possible number of ...

A 2-approximation for the preceding-and-crossing structured 2-interval pattern problem
The 2-interval pattern problem over its various models and restrictions was proposed by Vialette (2004) for the application of RNA secondary structure prediction. We present an O(n...

Weighted Geometric Set Cover via Quasi-Uniform Sampling
There has been much progress on geometric set cover problems, but most known techniques only apply to the unweighted setting. For the weighted setting, very few results are known ...

Approximation Algorithms via Structural Results for Apex-Minor-Free Graphs
We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for colorin...
