Few days ago I uploaded on Arxiv our preprint “Novel Dense Subgraph Discovery Primitives: Risk Aversion and Exclusion Queries”. This is joint work with Tianyi, Nao, and Jakub. In this paper we study the following extension of the densest subgraph problem (DSP) that is known to be solvable exactly in polynomial time on graphs with […]
Data science is transforming the world: we already see self-driving cars moving from research to production, data-driven cancer diagnostic systems, machine learning trader bots and lots of other exciting technologies because the corresponding problems have been reduced to understanding data. While the science of data for centuries was known as statistics, computer scientists, together with […]
