Fixing Max-Product: Convergent Message Passing Algorithms for MAP LP-Relaxations
We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...

The Equivalence of Sampling and Searching
In a sampling problem, we are given an input x {0, 1} n , and asked to sample approximately from a probability distribution Dx over poly (n)-bit strings. In a search problem, we ...

Prize-Collecting Steiner Network Problems
In the Steiner Network problem we are given a graph with edge-costs and connectivity requirements between node pairs , . The goal is to find a minimum-cost subgraph of that contain...

Sampling Bounds for Stochastic Optimization
A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
