— The design of the optimal codebook for a given codebook size and input source is a challenging puzzle that remains to be solved. The key problem in optimal codebook design is h...
We prove strong lower bounds on integrality gaps of Sherali?Adams relaxations for MAX CUT, Vertex Cover, Sparsest Cut and other problems. Our constructions show gaps for Sherali?A...

Abstract. Deformable template models are valuable tools in medical image segmentation. Current methods elegantly incorporate global shape and appearance, but can not cope with loca...
This paper is focused on the Co-segmentation problem
[1] – where the objective is to segment a similar object from
a pair of images. The background in the two images may be

A dynamic geometric data stream consists of a sequence of m insert/delete operations of points from the discrete space {1, . . . , ∆}d [26]. We develop streaming (1 + )-approxim...
