Improved Approximation of Linear Threshold Functions
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...

Distributed Network Querying with Bounded Approximate Caching
Abstract. As networks continue to grow in size and complexity, distributed network monitoring and resource querying are becoming increasingly difficult. Our aim is to design, build...

On Non-Approximability for Quadratic Programs
This paper studies the computational complexity of the following type of quadratic programs: given an arbitrary matrix whose diagonal elements are zero, find x ∈ {−1, +1}n th...

Fast approximate correlation for massive time-series data
We consider the problem of computing all-pair correlations in a warehouse containing a large number (e.g., tens of thousands) of time-series (or, signals). The problem arises in a...

Approximating the Minimum Spanning Tree Weight in Sublinear Time
We present a probabilistic algorithm that, given a connected graph G (represented by adjacency lists) of average degree d, with edge weights in the set {1, . . . , w}, and given a ...
