Abstract

We consider the problem of reading articles while maximizing the information gain within a restricted amount of time.

In each time step, the reader has to decide whether to read the next portion of the current article or to skip the rest irrevocably. Reading papers is not only an important task for researchers, but it also describes the process of learning news through articles in everyday life. In this work we show that the problem admits constant-competitive algorithms under certain, reasonable conditions.

Supervisor: Andreas Karrenbauer
