We prove the existence of small core-sets for solving approximate k-center clustering and related problems. The size of these core-sets is considerably smaller than the previously...
Image categorization is the problem of classifying images into one or more of several possible categories or classes, which are defined in advance. Classifiers can be trained usin...
This paper presents DisAC-9, the first optimal distributed algorithm performing the arc-consistency of a constraint network. Our method is optimal according to the number of messa...
Abductive diagnosis is an important method to identify explanations for a given set of observations. Unfortunately, most of the algorithmic problems in this area are intractable. ...
Given a simple polygon P with m vertices and a set S of n points in the plane, we consider the problem of finding a rigid motion placement of P that contains the maximum number of...
