Decision trees for entity identification: approximation algorithms and hardness results
We consider the problem of constructing decision trees for entity identification from a given relational table. The input is a table containing information about a set of entities...

The Performance of Approximating Ordinary Differential Equations by Neural Nets
—The dynamics of many systems are described by ordinary differential equations (ODE). Solving ODEs with standard methods (i.e. numerical integration) needs a high amount of compu...

Decision Making Based on Approximate and Smoothed Pareto Curves
Abstract. We consider bicriteria optimization problems and investigate the relationship between two standard approaches to solving them: (i) computing the Pareto curve and (ii) the...
