The Covert Set-Cover Problem with Application to Network Discovery
We address a version of the set-cover problem where we do not know the sets initially (and hence referred to as covert) but we can query an element to find out which sets contain ...

Approximating Maximum Flow in Polygonal Domains using Spanners
We study a maximum flow problem in a polygonal domain P: Determine the maximum number of disjoint "thick" paths (of specified width w) through P from a source edge to a ...

How to rank with few errors
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...

Beyond Trees: MRF Inference via Outer-Planar Decomposition
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in Markov Random Fields (MRFs) is an NP-hard problem, and thus research has focussed on either finding efficiently solvable subclasses (e.g. t...

Evaluating, combining and generalizing recommendations with prerequisites
We consider the problem of recommending the best set of k items when there is an inherent ordering between items, expressed as a set of prerequisites (e.g., the movie ‘Godfather...
