A Quasi-Monte Carlo Data Structure for Smooth Kernel Evaluations

Moses Charikar, Michael Kapralov, Erik Waingarten

In the kernel density estimation (KDE) problem one is given a kernel and a dataset of points in a Euclidean space, and must prepare a data structure that can quickly…

Improved Approximations for Ultrametric Violation Distance

Moses Charikar, Ruiquan Gao

We study the Ultrametric Violation Distance problem introduced by Cohen-Addad, Fan, Lee, and Mesmay [FOCS, 2022]. Given pairwise distances a…

Fast Algorithms for a New Relaxation of Optimal Transport

Moses Charikar, Beidi Chen, Christopher Re +1

We introduce a new class of objectives for optimal transport computations of datasets in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. The new objectives are parametrized by , and pr…

Approximate Hierarchical Clustering via Sparsest Cut and Spreading Metrics

Moses Charikar, Vaggos Chatziafratis

Dasgupta recently introduced a cost function for the hierarchical clustering of a set of points given pairwise similarities between them. He showed that this function is NP-hard to…

Online Bipartite Matching with Decomposable Weights

Moses Charikar, Monika Henzinger, Huy L. Nguyen

We study a weighted online bipartite matching problem: is a weighted bipartite graph where is known beforehand and the vertices of arrive online. The g…

Vertex Sparsifiers and Abstract Rounding Algorithms

Moses Charikar, Tom Leighton, Shi Li +1

The notion of vertex sparsification is introduced in \cite{M}, where it was shown that for any graph and a subset of terminals , there is a polynomial…
