A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-Median Problem
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for the metric k-median problem. The k-median problem is one of the most well-studied clustering problems, i.e., those...

Meeting the deadline: on the complexity of fault-tolerant continuous gossip
In this paper, we introduce the problem of Continuous Gossip in which rumors are continually and dynamically injected throughout the network. Each rumor has a deadline, and the go...

A Canonical Form for Testing Boolean Function Properties
In a well-known result Goldreich and Trevisan (2003) showed that every testable graph property has a “canonical” tester in which a set of vertices is selected at random and the...

Noise-tolerant learning, the parity problem, and the statistical query model
We describe a slightly subexponential time algorithm for learning parity functions in the presence of random classification noise, a problem closely related to several cryptograph...

Accessing Nearby Copies of Replicated Objects in a Distributed Environment
Consider a set of shared objects in a distributed network, where several copies of each object may exist at any given time. To ensure both fast access to the objects as well as e ...
