We study the performance of approximate Nash equilibria for congestion games with polynomial latency functions. We consider how much the price of anarchy worsens and how much the ...

We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...
A method for measuring dissimilarities between cyclic strings is introduced. It computes a weighted mean between two (lower and upper) bounds of the exact cyclic edit distance, wh...
Abstract--We give sublinear-time approximation algorithms for some optimization problems arising in machine learning, such as training linear classifiers and finding minimum enclos...

Abstract-- This paper introduces a deterministic approximation algorithm with error guarantees for computing the probability of propositional formulas over discrete random variable...
