Minimum-cost sensor arrangement for achieving wanted coverage lifetime
: Suppose we need to watch a set of targets continuously for a required period of time, and suppose we choose any number of sensors from a fixed set of sensor types and place them ...

Approximating edit distance in near-linear time
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...

Approximating the Crossing Number of Graphs Embeddable in Any Orientable Surface
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...

Extending XCSF beyond linear approximation
XCSF is the extension of XCS in which classifier prediction is computed as a linear combination of classifier inputs and a weight vector associated to each classifier. XCSF can...

A PAC Bound for Approximate Support Vector Machines
We study a class of algorithms that speed up the training process of support vector machines (SVMs) by returning an approximate SVM. We focus on algorithms that reduce the size of...
