    Nearly Optimal Private Convolution

    We study algorithms for computing the convolution of a private input x with a public input h, while satisfying the guarantees of (ε, δ)-differential privacy. Convolution is a fundamental operation, intimately rel...

    Frugal Streaming for Estimating Quantiles

    Modern applications require processing streams of data for estimating statistical quantities such as quantiles with small amount of memory. In many such applications, in fact, one needs to compute such statist...

    Budget Optimization for Online Campaigns with Positive Carryover Effects

    While it is relatively easy to start an online advertising campaign, proper allocation of the marketing budget is far from trivial. A major challenge faced by the marketers attempting to optimize their campaig...

    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...

    Quasi-Proportional Mechanisms: Prior-Free Revenue Maximization

    Inspired by Internet ad auction applications, we study the problem of allocating a single item via an auction when bidders place very different values on the item. We formulate this as the problem of prior-free a...

    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...

    Bidding on Configurations in Internet Ad Auctions

    In Internet advertising, a configuration of ads is determined by the seller, and advertisers buy spaces in the configuration. In this paper, motivated by sponsored search ads, we propose an auction where adver...
