On the Approximability of the Steiner Tree Problem
We show that it is not possible to approximate the minimum Steiner tree problem within 1 + 1 162 unless RP = NP. The currently best known lower bound is 1 + 1 400. The reduction i...

Markov Random Fields with Efficient Approximations
Markov Random Fields (MRF's) can be used for a wide variety of vision problems. In this paper we focus on MRF's with two-valued clique potentials, which form a generaliz...

The Greedy Algorithm for the Minimum Common String Partition Problem
In the Minimum Common String Partition problem (MCSP) we are given two strings on input, and we wish to partition them into the same collection of substrings, minimizing the numbe...

How to rank with few errors: A PTAS for Weighted Feedback Arc Set on Tournaments
Suppose you ran a chess tournament, everybody played everybody, and you wanted to use the results to rank everybody. Unless you were really lucky, the results would not be acyclic...
