Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

Lipschitz Parametrization of Probabilistic Graphical Models
We show that the log-likelihood of several probabilistic graphical models is Lipschitz continuous with respect to the ￿p-norm of the parameters. We discuss several implications ...

Tight Bounds on Minimum Maximum Pointwise Redundancy
This paper presents new lower and upper bounds for the optimal compression of binary prefix codes in terms of the most probable input symbol, where compression efficiency is determ...

Flows on Few Paths: Algorithms and Lower Bounds
Abstract. Classical network flow theory allows decomposition of flow into several chunks of arbitrary sizes traveling through the network on different paths. In the first part ...

Bounds for online bounded space hypercube packing
In hypercube packing, we receive a sequence of hypercubes that need to be packed into unit hypercubes which are called bins. Items arrive online and each item must be placed withi...
