[Title] TREE CONTRACTIONS AND EVOLUTIONARY TREES [Abstract] An evolutionary tree is a rooted tree where each internal vertex has at least two children and where the leaves are labeled with distinct symbols representing species. Evolutionary trees are useful for modeling the evolutionary history of species. An agreement subtree of two evolutionary trees is an evolutionary tree which is also a topological subtree of the two given trees. We give an algorithm to determine the largest possible number of leaves in any agreement subtree of two trees T 1 and T 2 with n leaves each. If the maximum degree d of these trees is bounded by a constant, the time complexity is O(n log 2 n) and is within a log n factor of optimal. For general d, this algorithm runs in O(nd 2 log d log 2 n) time or alternately in O(nd p d log 3 n) time. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Learning Distributions from Random Walks [Abstract] We introduce a new model of distributions generated by random walks on graphs. This model suggests a variety of learning problems, using the definitions and models of distribution learning defined in [6]. Our framework is general enough to model previously studied distribution learning problems, as well as to suggest new applications. We describe special cases of the general problem, and investigate their relative difficulty. We present algorithms to solve the learning problem under various conditions.

[Title] On the Approximability of Numerical Taxonomy (Fitting Distances by Tree Metrics) [Abstract] We consider the problem of fitting an n fi n distance matrix D by a tree metric T . Let " be the distance to the closest tree metric, that is, " = min T fk T; D k 1 g. First we present an O(n 2 ) algorithm for finding an additive tree T such that k T; D k 1 3", giving the first algorithm for this problem with a performance guarantee. Second we show that it is N P-hard to find a tree T such that k T; D k 1 &lt; 9 Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Efficient Algorithms for Inverting Evolution [Abstract] Evolution is a stochastic process which operates on the DNA of species. The evolutionary process leaves tell-tale signs in the DNA which can be used to construct phylogenies, or evolutionary trees, for a set of species. Maximum Likelihood Estimations (MLE) methods seek the evolutionary tree which is most likely to have produced the DNA under consideration. While these methods are widely accepted and intellectually satisfying, they have been computationally intractable. In this paper, we address the intractability of MLE methods as follows. We introduce a metric on stochastic process models of evolution. We show that this metric is meaningful by proving that in order for any algorithm to distinguish between two stochatic models that are close according to this metric, it needs to be given a lot of observations. We complement this result with a simple and efficient algorithm for inverting the stochastic process of evolution, that is, for building the tree from observations on the DNA of the species. Our result can be viewed as a result on the PAC-learnability of the class of distributions produced by tree-like processes. Though there have been many heuristics suggested for this problem, our algorithm is the first one with a guaranteed convergence rate, and further, this rate is within a polynomial of the lower-bound rate we establish. Ours is also the the first polynomial-time algorithm which is guaranteed to converge at all to the correct tree. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Constructing Big Trees from Short Sequences [Abstract] The construction of evolutionary trees is a fundamental problem in biology, and yet methods for reconstructing evolutionary trees are not reliable when it comes to inferring accurate topologies of large divergent evolutionary trees from realistic length sequences. We address this problem and present a new polynomial time algorithm for reconstructing evolutionary trees called the Short Quartets Method which is consistent and which has greater statistical power than other polynomial time methods, such as Neighbor-Joining and the 3-approximation algorithm by Agarwala et al. (and the "Double Pivot" variant of the Agarwala et al. algorithm by Cohen and Farach) for the L 1 -nearest tree problem. Our study indicates that our method will produce the correct topology from shorter sequences than can be guaranteed using these other methods. Please summarise all the given information.
