Top-Down Nearly-Context-Sensitive Parsing
We present a new syntactic parser that works left-to-right and top down, thus maintaining a fully-connected parse tree for a few alternative parse hypotheses. All of the commonly ...

Truthful and Near-Optimal Mechanism Design via Linear Programming
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...

On selecting the best individual in noisy environments
In evolutionary algorithms, the typical post-processing phase involves selection of the best-of-run individual, which becomes the final outcome of the evolutionary run. Trivial f...

Causal Dependence Tree Approximations of Joint Distributions for Multiple Random Processes
—We investigate approximating joint distributions of random processes with causal dependence tree distributions. Such distributions are particularly useful in providing parsimoni...

Node-Weighted Steiner Tree and Group Steiner Tree in Planar Graphs
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...
