Bisubmodularity extends the concept of submodularity to set functions with two arguments. We show how bisubmodular maximization leads to richer value-of-information problems, usin...
Query substitution is an important problem in information retrieval. Much work focuses on how to find substitutes for any given query. In this paper, we study how to efficiently ...
One of the key objectives of viral marketing is to identify a small set of users in a social network, who when convinced to adopt a product will influence others in the network l...

We consider Location-based Service (LBS) settings, where a LBS provider logs the requests sent by mobile device users over a period of time and later wants to publish/share these ...

Let G be an unweighted graph of complexity n embedded in a surface of genus g, orientable or not. We describe improved algorithms to compute a shortest non-contractible and a shor...
We analyze the multivariate generalization of Howgrave-Graham’s algorithm for the approximate common divisor problem. In the m-variable case with modulus N and approximate common...
In this work we study the problem of Bipartite Correlation Clustering (BCC), a natural bipartite counterpart of the well studied Correlation Clustering (CC) problem. Given a bipart...

—Sensor networks are often redundant by design; this is often done in order to achieve reliability in information processing. In many cases, the redundancy relationships between ...
Motivated by a security problem in geographic information systems, we study the following graph theoretical problem: given a graph G, two special nodes s and t in G, and a number k...
We present algorithms for a class of resource allocation problems both in the online setting with stochastic input and in the offline setting. This class of problems contains man...
