    Budget Feasible Mechanisms for Experimental Design

    We present a deterministic, polynomial time, budget feasible mechanism scheme, that is approximately truthful and yields a constant (≈ 12.98) factor approximation for the Experimental Design Problem (EDP). By app...

    Scienceography: The Study of How Science Is Written

    Scientific literature has itself been the subject of much scientific study, for a variety of reasons: understanding how results are communicated, how ideas spread, and assessing the influence of areas or indiv...

    Strictly-Black-Box Zero-Knowledge and Efficient Validation of Financial Transactions

    Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are one of the most striking innovations in theoretical computer science. In practice, the prevalent ZKP methods are, at times, too complicated to be useful for real-life applicati...

    Approximation Schemes for Sequential Posted Pricing in Multi-unit Auctions

    We design algorithms for computing approximately revenue-maximizing sequential posted-pricing mechanisms (SPM) in K-unit auctions, in a standard Bayesian model. A seller has K copies of an item to sell, and there...

    Selective Call Out and Real Time Bidding

    Ads on the Internet are increasingly sold via ad exchanges such as RightMedia, AdECN and Doubleclick Ad Exchange. These exchanges allow real-time bidding, that is, each time the publisher contacts the exchange...

    Estimating Entropy and Entropy Norm on Data Streams

    We consider the problem of computing information theoretic functions such as entropy on a data stream, using sublinear space.
