When LP is the Cure for Your Matching Woes: Improved Bounds for Stochastic Matchings
Abstract Consider a random graph model where each possible edge e is present independently with some probability pe. Given these probabilities, we want to build a large/heavy match...

Approximate distributed top- k queries
We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...

A Lower Bound for Testing 3-Colorability in Bounded-Degree Graphs
We consider the problem of testing 3-colorability in the bounded-degree model. We show that, for small enough ε, every tester for 3colorability must have query complexity Ω(n)....

A general approach for cache-oblivious range reporting and approximate range counting
We present cache-oblivious solutions to two important variants of range searching: range reporting and approximate range counting. Our main contribution is a general approach for ...

Cost-based variable-length-gram selection for string collections to support approximate queries efficiently
Approximate queries on a collection of strings are important in many applications such as record linkage, spell checking, and Web search, where inconsistencies and errors exist in...
