Edge-disjoint paths in Planar graphs with constant congestion
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number of pairs t...

Using mixture models for collaborative filtering
A collaborative filtering system at an e-commerce site or similar service uses data about aggregate user behavior to make recommendations tailored to specific user interests. We d...

Lower bounds for dynamic connectivity
We prove an (lg n) cell-probe lower bound on maintaining connectivity in dynamic graphs, as well as a more general trade-off between updates and queries. Our bound holds even if t...

Almost random graphs with simple hash functions
We describe a simple randomized construction for generating pairs of hash functions h1, h2 from a universe U to ranges V = [m] = {0, 1, . . . , m - 1} and W = [m] so that for ever...

Primal-dual meets local search: approximating MST's with nonuniform degree bounds
We present a new bicriteria approximation algorithm for the degree-bounded minimum-cost spanning tree problem: Given an undirected graph with nonnegative edge weights and degree b...
