Upper and lower bounds are obtained for the joint entropy of a collection of random variables in terms of an arbitrary collection of subset joint entropies. These inequalities gene...
We present a new bicriteria approximation algorithm for the degree-bounded minimum-cost spanning tree problem: Given an undirected graph with nonnegative edge weights and degree b...
A new framework is presented for both understanding and developing graph-cut based combinatorial algorithms suitable for the approximate optimization of a very wide class of MRFs ...
We present two methods for lossy compression of normal vectors through quantization using "base" polyhedra. The first revisits subdivision-based quantization. The second...
This paper addresses the study of fundamental properties of stream-based content distribution services. We assume the presence of an overlay network with limited connectivity degre...
