Many vision problems can be cast as optimizing the conditional probability density function p(C|I) where I is an image and C is a vector of model parameters describing the image. ...

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...

The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...
In this paper, we consider the problem of designing incentive compatible auctions for multiple (homogeneous) units of a good, when bidders have private valuations and private budg...

Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...
