A near-linear time approximation algorithm for angle-based outlier detection in high-dimensional data
Outlier mining in d-dimensional point sets is a fundamental and well studied data mining task due to its variety of applications. Most such applications arise in high-dimensional ...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Euclidean Steiner Forest
We give a randomized O(n polylog n)-time approximation scheme for the Steiner forest problem in the Euclidean plane. For every fixed ǫ > 0 and given n terminals in the plane ...

A new approximation algorithm for the multilevel facility location problem
In this paper we propose a new integer programming formulation for the multilevel facility location problem and a novel 3-approximation algorithm based on LP rounding. The linear ...

A fast and efficient algorithm for low-rank approximation of a matrix
The low-rank matrix approximation problem involves finding of a rank k version of a m ? n matrix AAA, labeled AAAk, such that AAAk is as "close" as possible to the best ...

Approximating the two-level facility location problem via a quasi-greedy approach
We propose a quasi-greedy algorithm for approximating the classical uncapacitated 2-level facility location problem (2-LFLP). Our algorithm, unlike the standard greedy algorithm, ...
