We introduce tractable classes of VCSP instances based on convex cost functions. Firstly, we show that the class of VCSP instances satisfying the hierarchically nested convexity pr...
Let C be a compact and convex set in the plane that contains the origin in its interior, and let S be a finite set of points in the plane. The Delaunay graph DGC (S) of S is define...
Let (S, d) be a finite metric space, where each element p ∈ S has a non-negative weight w(p). We study spanners for the set S with respect to weighted distance function dw, wher...

Many combinatorial problems arising in machine learning can be reduced to the problem of minimizing a submodular function. Submodular functions are a natural discrete analog of co...
We consider a quadratic programming (QP) problem (Π) of the form min xT Cx subject to Ax ≥ b where C ∈ Rn×n + , rank(C) = 1 and A ∈ Rm×n , b ∈ Rm . We present an FPTAS ...
