Online convex optimization in the bandit setting: gradient descent without a gradient
We study a general online convex optimization problem. We have a convex set S and an unknown sequence of cost functions c1, c2, . . . , and in each period, we choose a feasible po...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
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:...

Finding a maximum likelihood tree is hard
Abstract. Maximum likelihood (ML) is an increasingly popular optimality criterion for selecting evolutionary trees [Felsenstein 1981]. Finding optimal ML trees appears to be a very...

Plane embeddings of planar graph metrics
Embedding metrics into constant-dimensional geometric spaces, such as the Euclidean plane, is relatively poorly understood. Motivated by applications in visualization, ad-hoc netw...
