We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...
We propose a novel linear method for scale invariant figure ground separation in images and videos. Figure ground separation is treated as a superpixel labeling problem. We optim...
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...

Given an undirected hypergraph and a subset of vertices S ⊆ V with a specified root vertex r ∈ S, the STEINER ROOTED-ORIENTATION problem is to find an orientation of all the...
This paper introduces a gradient-based reward prediction update mechanism to the XCS classifier system as applied in neuralnetwork type learning and function approximation mechani...
