Complexity measures and decision tree complexity: a survey
We discuss several complexity measures for Boolean functions: certi cate complexity, sensitivity, block sensitivity, and the degree of a representing or approximating polynomial. ...

Better streaming algorithms for clustering problems
We study clustering problems in the streaming model, where the goal is to cluster a set of points by making one pass (or a few passes) over the data using a small amount of storag...

Optimal Sherali-Adams Gaps from Pairwise Independence
Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...

Streaming Algorithms for k-Center Clustering with Outliers and with Anonymity
Clustering is a common problem in the analysis of large data sets. Streaming algorithms, which make a single pass over the data set using small working memory and produce a cluster...

Beyond Trees: MRF Inference via Outer-Planar Decomposition
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in Markov Random Fields (MRFs) is an NP-hard problem, and thus research has focussed on either finding efficiently solvable subclasses (e.g. t...
