Beyond independent relevance: methods and evaluation metrics for subtopic retrieval
We present a non-traditional retrieval problem we call subtopic retrieval. The subtopic retrieval problem is concerned with finding documents that cover many different subtopics ...

Shape Fitting on Point Sets with Probability Distributions
We consider problems on data sets where each data point has uncertainty described by an individual probability distribution. We develop several frameworks and algorithms for calcul...

Content distribution by multiple multicast trees and intersession cooperation: Optimal algorithms and approximations
—The paper addresses the problem of massive content distribution in the network where multiple sessions coexist. In the traditional approaches, the sessions form separate overlay...

k-Link Shortest Paths in Weighted Subdivisions
We study the shortest path problem in weighted polygonal subdivisions of the plane, with the additional constraint of an upper bound, k, on the number of links (segments) in the pa...

Non-approximability Results for Scheduling Problems with Minsum Criteria
We provide several non-approximability results for deterministic scheduling problems whose objective is to minimize the total job completion time. Unless P = NP, none of the probl...
