Enforcing arc consistency (AC) during search has proven to be a very effective method in solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems and it has been widely-used in many Constraint Pr...

Abstract. We show that a maximum cut of a random graph below the giantcomponent threshold can be found in linear space and linear expected time by a simple algorithm. In fact, the ...
We present a novel boosting algorithm, called SoftBoost, designed for sets of binary labeled examples that are not necessarily separable by convex combinations of base hypotheses....

Combinatorial optimization problems naturally arise in many application areas, including logistics, manufacturing, supplychain management, and resource allocation. They often give...
We prove strong lower bounds on integrality gaps of Sherali?Adams relaxations for MAX CUT, Vertex Cover, Sparsest Cut and other problems. Our constructions show gaps for Sherali?A...
