Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...

Learning to satisfy
This paper investigates a class of learning problems called learning satisfiability (LSAT) problems, where the goal is to learn a set in the input (feature) space that satisfies...

One-Bit-Matching ICA Theorem, Convex-Concave Programming, and Combinatorial Optimization
Recently, a mathematical proof is obtained in (Liu, Chiu, Xu, 2004) on the so called one-bit-matching conjecture that all the sources can be separated as long as there is an one-to...
