Image Segmentation by Branch-and-Mincut
Efficient global optimization techniques such as graph cut exist for energies corresponding to binary image segmentation from lowlevel cues. However, introducing a high-level prior...

Testing monotone high-dimensional distributions
A monotone distribution P over a (partially) ordered domain assigns higher probability to y than to x if y x in the order. We study several natural problems concerning testing pr...

On digraph coloring problems and treewidth duality
It is known that every constraint-satisfaction problem (CSP) reduces, and is in fact polynomially equivalent, to a digraph coloring problem. By carefully analyzing the constructio...

Soft arc consistency revisited
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

Negative thinking by incremental problem solving: application to unate covering
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...
