Abstract. We present a Bayesian treatment of non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), based on a normal likelihood and exponential priors, and derive an efficient Gibbs sampler to ...
We consider the problem of constructing decision trees for entity identification from a given relational table. The input is a table containing information about a set of entities...

In this paper, we give the rst constant-factor approximationalgorithmfor the rooted Orienteering problem, as well as a new problem that we call the Discounted-Reward TSP, motivate...

We study the minimum diameter color-spanning set problem which has recently drawn some attention in the database community. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial tim...
We propose two approximation algorithms for identifying communities in dynamic social networks. Communities are intuitively characterized as "unusually densely knit" sub...
