Clustering for metric and nonmetric distance measures
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...

Minimizing Average Shortest Path Distances via Shortcut Edge Addition
We consider adding k shortcut edges (i.e. edges of small fixed length δ ≥ 0) to a graph so as to minimize the weighted average shortest path distance over all pairs of vertices...

Multiplicative Background-Foreground Estimation Under Uncontrolled Illumination using Intrinsic Images
Instead of the conventional background and foreground definition, we propose a novel method that decomposes a scene into time-varying background and foreground intrinsic images. T...

Secure Computation of the k th-Ranked Element
Given two or more parties possessing large, confidential datasets, we consider the problem of securely computing the kth -ranked element of the union of the datasets, e.g. the med...
