Approximate Nearest Subspace Search with Applications to Pattern Recognition
Linear and affine subspaces are commonly used to describe appearance of objects under different lighting, viewpoint, articulation, and identity. A natural problem arising from the...

Black-Box Randomized Reductions in Algorithmic Mechanism Design
We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...

Sampling-based dimension reduction for subspace approximation
We give a randomized bi-criteria algorithm for the problem of finding a k-dimensional subspace that minimizes the Lp-error for given points, i.e., p-th root of the sum of p-th

Approximate nearest neighbors and the fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform
We introduce a new low-distortion embedding of d 2 into O(log n) p (p = 1, 2), called the Fast-Johnson-LindenstraussTransform. The FJLT is faster than standard random projections ...

Learning How to Propagate Using Random Probing
Abstract. In constraint programming there are often many choices regarding the propagation method to be used on the constraints of a problem. However, simple constraint solvers usu...
