Let $\FF$ be a set of real-valued functions on a set $\XX$ and let $S:\FF \to \GG$ be an arbitrary mapping. We consider the problem of making inference about $S(f)$, with $f\in\FF$ unknown, from a finite set of pointwise evaluations of $f$.…
We extend some rate of convergence results of greedy quantization sequences already investigated in arXiv:1409.0732 [math.PR]. We show, for a more general class of distributions satisfying a certain control, that the quantization error of…
We describe a greedy algorithm that approximates the Carleson constant of a collection of general sets. The approximation has a logarithmic loss in a general setting, but is optimal up to a constant with only mild geometric assumptions. The…
Online bipartite matching with edge arrivals remained a major open question for a long time until a recent negative result by [Gamlath et al. FOCS 2019], who showed that no online policy is better than the straightforward greedy algorithm,…
