A Threshold of ln n for Approximating Set Cover
Given a collection Ᏺ of subsets of S ϭ {1, . . . , n}, set cover is the problem of selecting as few as possible subsets from Ᏺ such that their union covers S, and max k-cover ...

Sublinear Algorithms for Approximating String Compressibility
We raise the question of approximating the compressibility of a string with respect to a fixed compression scheme, in sublinear time. We study this question in detail for two popu...

Approximate convex decomposition of polygons
We propose a strategy to decompose a polygon, containing zero or more holes, into “approximately convex” pieces. For many applications, the approximately convex components of ...

Expectation Consistent Free Energies for Approximate Inference
We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...

Towards an Ontology of Approximate Reason
Abstract. This article introduces structural aspects in an ontology of approximate reason. The basic assumption in this ontology is that approximate reason is a capability of an ag...
