PAC Nearest Neighbor Queries: Approximate and Controlled Search in High-Dimensional and Metric Spaces
In high-dimensional and complex metric spaces, determining the nearest neighbor (NN) of a query object ? can be a very expensive task, because of the poor partitioning operated by...

iJoin: Importance-Aware Join Approximation over Data Streams
We consider approximate join processing over data streams when memory limitations cause incoming tuples to overflow the available space, precluding exact processing. Selective evi...

An approximative method for calculating performance measures of Markov processes
We present a new approximation method called value extrapolation for Markov processes with large or infinite state spaces. The method can be applied for calculating any performan...

The Shortest Vector in a Lattice is Hard to Approximate to Within Some Constant
We show that approximating the shortest vector problem (in any p norm) to within any constant factor less than p 2 is hard for NP under reverse unfaithful random reductions with i...

Approximations and Randomization to Boost CSP Techniques
Abstract. In recent years we have seen an increasing interest in combining constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formulations and linear programming (LP) based techniques for solvi...
