3-Dimensional Random Assignment Problems

Prof. Gregory Sorkin
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

The 2-dimensional assignment problem (minimum cost matching) is solvable in polynomial time, and it is known that a random instance of size n, with entries chosen independently and uniformly at random from [0,1], has expected cost tending to pi^2/6. In dimensions 3 and higher,...

Title: Storing and Accessing Big Web Collections

Abstract:

Compression techniques that support fast random access are a core component of any information system. Current state-of-the-art methods group documents into fixed sized blocks and compress each block with a general-purpose adaptive compressor such as GZIP. Random...

Simon Gog: Compressed Suffix Trees in Practice

Abstract: Compressed Suffix Trees (CSTs) are space-efficient full-text index data structures which provide more functionality than their uncompressed counterparts while at the same time use only a fraction of space in practice. However a robust, efficient, and easy-to-...
