Modified Logistic Regression: An Approximation to SVM and Its Applications in Large-Scale Text Categorization
Logistic Regression LR has been widely used in statistics for many years, and has received extensive study in machine learning community recently due to its close relations to Support Vector Machines SVM and Ad-a-Boost. This paper uses a modified version of LR to approximate the optimization of SVM by a...

Buy-at-Bulk Network Design With Protection
This paper considers approximation algorithms for buy-at-bulk network design, with the additional constraint that demand pairs be protected against edge or node failures in the network. In practice, the most popular model used in high speed telecommunication networks for protection against failures, is the so-called 1+1 model. In this model,...

Hierarchical Placement and Network Design Problems
This paper gives the first constant-approximations for a number of layered network design problems. It begins by modeling hierarchical caching, where caches are placed in layers and each layer satisfies a fixed percentage of the demand bounded miss rates. The paper presents a constant approximation to the minimum total cost...

Performance Evaluation of Approximation Algorithms for Multipoint Relay Selection
In Mobile Ad hoc NETworks MANET, the selection of Multipoint Relays provides an efficient routing scheme for efficient broadcast and shortest-path unicast. As such a selection is NP-hard, a heuristic has been designed and effectively implemented in protocols for MANET such as the Optimized Link State Routing protocol OLSR. This...

Signal-Specialized Parameterization for Piecewise Linear Reconstruction
This paper proposes a metric for surface parameterization specialized to its signal that can be used to create more efficient, high-quality texture maps. Derived from Taylor expansion of signal error, the metric predicts the signal approximation error - the difference between the original surface signal and its reconstruction from the...

A Note on an Analytic Model for Slow Start in TCP
Sikdar et al has provided a formula to model the window increase pattern given the mechanics of delayed acknowledgements. This paper shows that their sum formula significantly underestimates the iterated sum for rounds greater than seven. The approximation error grows exponentially. It also derives a more accurate sum formula whose...
