Interestingly, in both cases the natural greedy strategy can be far from optimal, and I will describe other strategies for these settings that are close to optimal.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBased on joint works with Ohad Feldheim and William Kuszmaul.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E----------------------------------\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.win.tue.nl\/~nikhil\/\u0022\u003ESpeaker\u0026#39;s Webpage\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EVideos of recent talks are available at: \u003C\/em\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/smartech.gatech.edu\/handle\/1853\/46836\u0022\u003E\u003Cem\u003Ehttps:\/\/smartech.gatech.edu\/handle\/1853\/46836\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/mailman.cc.gatech.edu\/mailman\/listinfo\/arc-colloq\u0022\u003E\u003Cem\u003EClick here to subscribe to the seminar email list: arc-colloq@Klauscc.gatech.edu \u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"More on the power of two choices in balls and bins - Klaus 1116 at 11am"}],"uid":"27544","created_gmt":"2021-11-03 16:52:06","changed_gmt":"2022-02-11 14:57:17","author":"Francella Tonge","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2022-02-21T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2022-02-21T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2022-02-21T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2022-02-21 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2022-02-21 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2022-02-21 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"70263","name":"ARC"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
