We consider the problem of online Min-cost Perfect Matching with Delays (MPMD) introduced by Emek et al. (STOC 2016). In this problem, an even number of requests appear in a metric space at different times and the goal of an online…
In this work, we consider online vector bin packing. It is known that no algorithm can have a competitive ratio of $o(d/\log^2 d)$ in the absolute sense, though upper bounds for this problem were always shown in the asymptotic sense. Since…

Clustering, a fundamental task in data science and machine learning, groups a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same cluster are closer to each other than to those in other clusters. In this paper, we consider a well-known…
Within the context of stochastic probing with commitment, we consider the online stochastic matching problem; that is, the one sided online bipartite matching problem where edges adjacent to an online node must be probed to determine if…
In the Colored Bin Packing problem a sequence of items of sizes up to $1$ arrives to be packed into bins of unit capacity. Each item has one of $c\geq 2$ colors and an additional constraint is that we cannot pack two items of the same color…

We introduce a model of online algorithms subject to strict constraints on data retention. An online learning algorithm encounters a stream of data points, one per round, generated by some stationary process. Crucially, each data point can…
We consider the online resource minimization problem in which jobs with hard deadlines arrive online over time at their release dates. The task is to determine a feasible schedule on a minimum number of machines. We rigorously study this…
