— Given a fixed network where each node has some given initial value, and under the constraint that each node receives noisy transmissions from its immediate neighbors, we provi...
We study integrality gaps for SDP relaxations of constraint satisfaction problems, in the hierarchy of SDPs defined by Lasserre. Schoenebeck [25] recently showed the first integra...
Abstract— We develop a general framework for MAP estimation in discrete and Gaussian graphical models using Lagrangian relaxation techniques. The key idea is to reformulate an in...

The observations in many applications consist of counts of discrete events, such as photons hitting a detector, which cannot be effectively modeled using an additive bounded or Ga...

We have written a prototype computer program called TrenDx for automated trend detection during process monitoring. The program uses a representation called trend templates that d...
