We prove that the weighted monotone circuit satisfiability problem has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with constant or polylogarithmic approximation ratio un...
We study the properties of the agnostic learning framework of Haussler [Hau92] and Kearns, Schapire and Sellie [KSS94]. In particular, we address the question: is there any situat...
Digitizing ancient books, especially those related to the humanities, is practiced in many countries. The number of full-text databases in the humanities is increasing. Studies hav...
Abstract. Despite the recent advances in planning for classical domains, the question of how to use domain knowledge in planning is yet to be completely and clearly answered. Some ...

For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...
