K-approximation of k-hitting set

In computer science, k-approximation of k-hitting set is an approximation algorithm for weighted hitting set. The input is a collection S of subsets of some universe T and a mapping W from T to non-negative numbers called the weights of the elements of T. In k-hitting set the size of the sets in S cannot be larger than k. That is, . The problem is now to pick some subset T' of T such that every set in S contains some element of T', and such that the total weight of all elements in T' is as small as possible. (Wikipedia).

Approximating Functions in a Metric Space

Approximations are common in many areas of mathematics from Taylor series to machine learning. In this video, we will define what is meant by a best approximation and prove that a best approximation exists in a metric space. Chapters 0:00 - Examples of Approximation 0:46 - Best Aproximati

k nearest neighbor (kNN): how it works

[http://bit.ly/k-NN] The k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) algorithm is based on the intuition that similar instances should have similar class labels (in classification) or similar target values (regression). The algorithm is very simple, but is capable of learning highly-complex non-linear decis

Nearly Optimal Deterministic Algorithms Via M-Ellipsoids - Santosh Vempala

Santosh Vempala Georgia Institute of Technology January 30, 2011 Milman's ellipsoids play an important role in modern convex geometry. Here we show that their proofs of existence can be turned into efficient algorithms, and these in turn lead to improved deterministic algorithms for volume

Peter Sarnak: Integral points on Markoff type cubic surfaces and dynamics

Abstract: Cubic surfaces in affine three space tend to have few integral points .However certain cubics such as x3+y3+z3=m, may have many such points but very little is known. We discuss these questions for Markoff type surfaces: x2+y2+z2−x⋅y⋅z=m for which a (nonlinear) descent allows for
