We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...
In the k-medoid problem, given a dataset P, we are asked to choose k points in P as the medoids. The optimal medoid set minimizes the average Euclidean distance between the points ...
In the real world designers often use French curves or sweeps to create or edit curves to bring out a personal style or reflect a corporate standard in all their designs. A Frenc...
This paper describes the application of machine learning methods to determine parameters for DeLite, a readability checking tool. DeLite pinpoints text segments that are difficul...
While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
