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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Range Medians
We study a generalization of the classical median finding problem to batched query case: given an array of unsorted n items and k (not necessarily disjoint) intervals in the array, the goal is to determine the me...

Stochastic Models for Budget Optimization in Search-Based Advertising
Internet search companies sell advertisement slots based on users’ search queries via an auction. Advertisers have to determine how to place bids on the keywords of their interest in order to maximize their re...

Radix Sorting with No Extra Space
It is well known that n integers in the range [1,n c ] can be sorted in O(n) time in the RAM model using radix sorting. More generally, integers in any range [1,

Subspace Sampling and Relative-Error Matrix Approximation: Column-Row-Based Methods
Much recent work in the theoretical computer science, linear algebra, and machine learning has considered matrix decompositions of the following form: given an m ×n matrix A, decompose it as a product of three ma...

Combinatorial Algorithms for Compressed Sensing
In sparse approximation theory, the fundamental problem is to reconstruct a signal A ∈ ℝ n from linear measurements 〈A ψ i

Streams, Security and Scalability
Network-based attacks, such as DDoS attacks and worms, are threatening the continued utility of the Internet. As the variety and the sophistication of attacks grow, early detection of potential attacks will be...

Workload-Optimal Histograms on Streams
A histogram is a piecewise-constant approximation of an observed data distribution. A histogram is used as a small-space, approximate synopsis of the underlying data distribution, which is often too large to b...

Permutation Editing and Matching via Embeddings
If the genetic maps of two species are modelled as permutations of (homologous) genes, the number of chromosomal rearrangements in the form of deletions, block moves, inversions etc. to transform one such perm...

Augmenting Suffix Trees, with Applications
Information retrieval and data compression are the two main application areas where the rich theory of string algorithmics plays a fundamental role. In this paper, we consider one algorithmic problem from each...

Efficient array partitioning
We consider the problem of partitioning an array of n items into p intervals so that the maximum weight of the intervals is minimized. The currently best known bound for this problem is O(n+p 1+ε ) [HNC92] for an...
