Whether an extreme observation is an outlier or not, depends strongly on the corresponding tail behaviour of the underlying distribution. We develop an automatic, data-driven method to identify extreme tail behaviour that deviates from the…

Integer Linear Programming with $n$ binary variables and $m$ many $0/1$-constraints can be solved in time $2^{\tilde O(m^2)} \text{poly}(n)$ and it is open whether the dependence on $m$ is optimal. Several seemingly unrelated problems,…
With the ansatz that a data set's correlation matrix has a certain parametrized form (one general enough, however, to allow the arbitrary specification of a slowly-varying decorrelation distance and population variance) the general…

Min-plus product of two $n\times n$ matrices is a fundamental problem in algorithm research. It is known to be equivalent to APSP, and in general it has no truly subcubic algorithms. In this paper, we focus on the min-plus product on a…
