We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...
We develop an algorithm to detect community structure in complex networks. The algorithm is based on spectral methods and takes into account weights and links orientations. Since t...

Frequent structure mining (FSM) aims to discover and extract patterns frequently occurring in structural data, such as trees and graphs. FSM finds many applications in bioinformat...
Abstract. Gene trees are leaf-labeled trees inferred from molecular sequences. Due to duplication events arising in genome evolution, gene trees usually have multiple copies of som...
Symmetry in a Constraint Satisfaction Problem can cause wasted search, which can be avoided by adding constraints to the CSP to exclude symmetric assignments or by modifying the s...
