We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...

We present a fast graph cut algorithm for planar graphs.
It is based on the graph theoretical work [2] and leads to an
efficient method that we apply on shape matching and im-

Abstract. We give a novel general approach for solving NP-hard optimization problems that combines dynamic programming and fast matrix multiplication. The technique is based on red...
Partial Cover problems are optimization versions of fundamental and well studied problems like Vertex Cover and Dominating Set. Here one is interested in covering (or dominating) ...

We solve an open problem posed by Eppstein in 1995 [14, 15] and re-enforced by Grohe [16, 17] concerning locally bounded treewidth in minor-closed families of graphs. A graph has ...
