Depth-First Branch-and-Bound versus Local Search: A Case Study
Depth-first branch-and-bound (DFBnB) is a complete algorithm that is typically used to find optimal solutions of difficult combinatorial optimization problems. It can also be adap...

The Asymmetric Approximate Anytime Join: A New Primitive with Applications to Data Mining
It has long been noted that many data mining algorithms can be built on top of join algorithms. This has lead to a wealth of recent work on efficiently supporting such joins with ...

Nearly optimal solutions for the chow parameters problem and low-weight approximation of halfspaces
The Chow parameters of a Boolean function f : {−1, 1}n → {−1, 1} are its n + 1 degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. It has been known since 1961 [Cho61, Tan61] that ...

Grouping Techniques for Scheduling Problems: Simpler and Faster
In this paper we describe a general grouping technique to devise faster and simpler approximation schemes for several scheduling problems. We illustrate the technique on two diff...

Feature selection focused within error clusters
We propose a feature selection method that constructs each new feature by analysis of tight error clusters. This is a greedy, time-efficient forward selection algorithm that itera...
