Cloud infrastructures enable the efficient parallel execution of data-intensive tasks such as entity resolution on large datasets. We investigate challenges and possible solutions of using the MapReduce programming model for parallel entity…
We consider integer programming problems with bounded general-integer variables belonging to the general class of network flow problems. For those, we computationally investigate the effect on mixed-integer linear programming (MIP) solvers…
In this paper we present novel algorithms for several multidimensional data processing problems. We consider problems related to the computation of restricted clusters and of the diameter of a set of points using a new distance function. We…
In this paper, we study the minimum dominating set (MDS) problem and the minimum total dominating set MTDS) problem which have many applications in real world. We propose a new idea to compute approximate MDS and MTDS. Next, we give an…
Composition of low-dimensional distributions, whose foundations were laid in the papaer published in the Proceeding of UAI'97 (Jirousek 1997), appeared to be an alternative apparatus to describe multidimensional probabilistic models. In…
We consider the rank reduction problem for matroids: Given a matroid M and an integer k, find a minimum size subset of elements of M whose removal reduces the rank of M by at least k. When M is a graphical matroid this problem is the…
Center-based clustering techniques are fundamental in some areas of machine learning such as data summarization. Generic $k$-center algorithms can produce biased cluster representatives so there has been a recent interest in fair $k$-center…
Cutting-planes are one of the most important building blocks for solving large-scale integer programming (IP) problems to (near) optimality. The majority of cutting plane approaches rely on explicit rules to derive valid inequalities that…
The k-defensive domination problem is a powerful modeling tool for strategic decision-making in network security and disaster/emergency management, where multiple nodes may be simultaneously under attack. Despite its practical relevance,…
We study the $k$-median with discounts problem, wherein we are given clients with non-negative discounts and seek to open at most $k$ facilities. The goal is to minimize the sum of distances from each client to its nearest open facility…
The inversion of extremely high order matrices has been a challenging task because of the limited processing and memory capacity of conventional computers. In a scenario in which the data does not fit in memory, it is worth to consider…
In this paper, we present a new iterative rounding framework for many clustering problems. Using this, we obtain an $(\alpha_1 + \epsilon \leq 7.081 + \epsilon)$-approximation algorithm for $k$-median with outliers, greatly improving upon…
Reduced order models are computationally inexpensive approximations that capture the important dynamical characteristics of large, high-fidelity computer models of physical systems. This paper applies machine learning techniques to improve…
A set of points $P$ in a metric space and a constant integer $k$ are given. The $k$-center problem finds $k$ points as centers among $P$, such that the maximum distance of any point of $P$ to their closest centers $(r)$ is minimized.…
Clustering is a popular form of unsupervised learning for geometric data. Unfortunately, many clustering algorithms lead to cluster assignments that are hard to explain, partially because they depend on all the features of the data in a…
Many large-scale optimization problems decompose into a master problem and scenario subproblems, a structure that can be exploited by Benders decomposition. In Benders decomposition, each iteration may generate many cuts from scenario…
We present algorithms for the Max-Cover and Max-Unique-Cover problems in the data stream model. The input to both problems are $m$ subsets of a universe of size $n$ and a value $k\in [m]$. In Max-Cover, the problem is to find a collection…
The covering radius problem is a question in coding theory concerned with finding the minimum radius $r$ such that, given a code that is a subset of an underlying metric space, balls of radius $r$ over its code words cover the entire metric…
The $k$-center problem is a fundamental optimization problem with numerous applications in machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and communication networks. The $k$-center problem has been extensively studied in the classical…
Cutting planes for mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs) are typically computed in rounds by iteratively solving optimization problems, the so-called separation. Instead, we reframe the problem of finding good cutting planes as a continuous…
