Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-hard problems
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...

Improving Quality of Search Results Clustering with Approximate Matrix Factorisations
Abstract. In this paper we show how approximate matrix factorisations can be used to organise document summaries returned by a search engine into meaningful thematic categories. We...

Improved Approximation Bounds for Planar Point Pattern Matching
We analyze the performance of simple algorithms for matching two planar point sets under rigid transformations so as to minimize the directed Hausdorff distance between the sets....

A Fast Approximation Scheme for Probabilistic Wavelet Synopses
Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Haar wavelets in reducing large amounts of data down to compact wavelet synopses that can be used to obtain fast, accurate a...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...
