To conduct Bayesian inference with large data sets, it is often convenient or necessary to distribute the data across multiple machines. We consider a likelihood function expressed as a product of terms, each associated with a subset of the…

We study ordinal makespan scheduling on small numbers of identical machines, with respect to two parallel solutions. In ordinal scheduling, it is known that jobs are sorted by non-increasing sizes, but the specific sizes are not known in…

We consider the Consensus Patterns problem, where, given a set of input strings, one is asked to extract a long-enough pattern which appears (with some errors) in all strings. We prove that this problem is W[1]-hard when parameterized by…

A multiple knapsack constraint over a set of items is defined by a set of bins of arbitrary capacities, and a weight for each of the items. An assignment for the constraint is an allocation of subsets of items to the bins which adheres to…

Many commonly used test statistics are based on a norm measuring the evidence against the null hypothesis. To understand how the choice of a norm affects power properties of tests in high dimensions, we study the consistency sets of…

For a probability measure $\mu$ on $[0,1]$ without discrete component, the best possible order of approximation by a finite point set in terms of the star-discrepancy is $\frac{1}{2N}$ as has been proven relatively recently. However, if…

Measuring inconsistency is viewed as an important issue related to handling inconsistencies. Good measures are supposed to satisfy a set of rational properties. However, defining sound properties is sometimes problematic. In this paper, we…
