We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...
Although every terminating loop has a ranking function, not every loop has a ranking function of a restricted form, such as a lexicographic tuple of polynomials over program variab...
ROC curves are one of the most widely used displays to evaluate performance of scoring functions. In the paper, we propose a statistical method for directly optimizing the ROC cur...
An approximate rank revealing factorization problem with structure constraints on the normalized factors is considered. Examples of structure, motivated by an application in micro...
—Authority flow and proximity search have been used extensively in measuring the association between entities in data graphs, ranging from the Web to relational and XML database...
