We initiate the study of on-line metric embeddings. In such an embedding we are given a sequence of n points X = x1, . . . , xn one by one, from a metric space M = (X, D). Our goal...

: Let (C1, C1), (C2, C2), . . . , (Cm, Cm) be a sequence of ordered pairs of 2CNF clauses chosen uniformly at random (with repetition) from the set of all 4 n 2 clauses on n variab...
In this paper, we investigate whether a constant round Lasserre Semi-definite Programming (SDP) relaxation might give a good approximation to the UNIQUE GAMES problem. We show tha...
We present a simple factor 6 algorithm for approximating the optimal multiplicative distortion of embedding (unweighted) graph metrics into tree metrics (thus improving and simplif...

The paper presents an in-depth analysis of a less known interaction between Kneser-Ney smoothing and entropy pruning that leads to severe degradation in language model performance...
