We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
This paper proposes a parameterized algorithm for aligning two protein structures, in the case where one protein structure is represented by a contact map graph and the other by a ...
In this paper we initiate the study of the AND-OR directed feedback vertex set problem from the viewpoint of approximation algorithms. This AND-OR feedback vertex set problem is m...

Let G be a connected graph, and let V and V two n-element subsets of its vertex set V (G). Imagine that we place a chip at each element of V and we want to move them into the posi...
A low-distortion embedding between two metric spaces is a mapping which preserves the distances between each pair of points, up to a small factor called distortion. Low-distortion...
