Let G be a graph embedded in the L1-plane. The stretch factor of G is the maximum over all pairs of distinct vertices p and q of G of the ratio LG 1 (p, q)/L1(p, q), where LG 1 (p...

The min-sum k-clustering problem is to partition a metric space (P, d) into k clusters C1, . . . , Ck ⊆ P such that k i=1 p,q∈Ci d(p, q) is minimized. We show the first effi...
Rank correlation measures are known for their resilience to perturbations in numeric values and are widely used in many evaluation metrics. Such ordinal measures have rarely been ...
