Improved Hardness of Approximation for Stackelberg Shortest-Path Pricing
We consider the Stackelberg shortest-path pricing problem, which is defined as follows. Given a graph G with fixed-cost and pricable edges and two distinct vertices s and t, we may...

Approximating discrete probability distributions with causal dependence trees
Abstract--Chow and Liu considered the problem of approximating discrete joint distributions with dependence tree distributions where the goodness of the approximations were measure...

On the Choice of Regions for Generalized Belief Propagation
Generalized belief propagation (GBP) has proven to be a promising technique for approximate inference tasks in AI and machine learning. However, the choice of a good set of cluste...

Locally-Constrained Region-Based Methods for DW-MRI Segmentation
In this paper, we describe a method for segmenting fiber bundles from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images using a locally-constrained region based approach. From a pre-co...

A nearly optimal oracle for avoiding failed vertices and edges
We present an improved oracle for the distance sensitivity problem. The goal is to preprocess a directed graph G = (V, E) with non-negative edge weights to answer queries of the f...
