We describe an algorithm for clustering using a similarity graph. The algorithm (a) runs in O(n log3 n + m log n) time on graphs with n vertices and m edges, and (b) with high pro...
In this paper, we present a novel active contour model, in which the traditional gradient descent optimization is replaced by graph cut optimization. The basic idea is to first de...

We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...

We present a new bicriteria approximation algorithm for the degree-bounded minimum-cost spanning tree problem: Given an undirected graph with nonnegative edge weights and degree b...
The identification of clusters, well-connected components in a graph, is useful in many applications from biological function prediction to social community detection. However, ...
