Approximation algorithms for stochastic and risk-averse optimization

Jaroslaw Byrka, Aravind Srinivasan

We present improved approximation algorithms in stochastic optimization. We prove that the multi-stage stochastic versions of covering integer programs (such as set cover and verte…

Algorithms to Approximate Column-Sparse Packing Problems

Brian Brubach, Karthik Abinav Sankararaman, Aravind Srinivasan +1

Column-sparse packing problems arise in several contexts in both deterministic and stochastic discrete optimization. We present two unifying ideas, (non-uniform) attenuation and mu…

A Lottery Model for Center-type Problems With Outliers

David G. Harris, Thomas Pensyl, Aravind Srinivasan +1

In this paper, we give tight approximation algorithms for the -center and matroid center problems with outliers. Unfairness arises naturally in this setting: certain clients cou…

Dependent randomized rounding for clustering and partition systems with knapsack constraints

David G. Harris, Thomas Pensyl, Aravind Srinivasan +1

Clustering problems are fundamental to unsupervised learning. There is an increased emphasis on fairness in machine learning and AI; one representative notion of fairness is that n…

Fairness in Resource Allocation and Slowed-down Dependent Rounding

David G. Harris, Thomas Pensyl, Aravind Srinivasan +1

We consider an issue of much current concern: could fairness, an issue that is already difficult to guarantee, worsen when algorithms run much of our lives? We consider this in the…
