Distributing spatially located heterogeneous workloads is an important problem in parallel scientific computing. We investigate the problem of partitioning such workloads (repres...
Abstract Computer vision is full of problems elegantly expressed in terms of energy minimization. We characterize a class of energies with hierarchical costs and propose a novel hi...

This paper studies an extension of the k-median problem where we are given a metric space (V, d) and not just one but m client sets {Si V }m i=1, and the goal is to open k facili...

Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...
