Quadratic program relaxations are proposed as an alternative to linear program relaxations and tree reweighted belief propagation for the metric labeling or MAP estimation problem...
A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of unit disks in the euclidean plane. We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the maximum weight independent set problem i...
In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP) one seeks to find a minimum cost subgraph that satisfies prescribed node-connectivity requirements. We give a novel approximation r...
Abstract-- In this paper we consider d-dimensional spatiotemporal data (d 1) and ways to approximate and index it. We focus on indexing such data for similarity matching using orth...
In this paper, we consider a default strategy for fully Bayesian model determination for GLMMs. We address the two key issues of default prior specification and computation. In pa...
