Convergent Tree-Reweighted Message Passing for Energy Minimization
Algorithms for discrete energy minimization are of fundamental importance in computer vision. In this paper we focus on the recent technique proposed by Wainwright et al. [33] - t...

A search space "cartography" for guiding graph coloring heuristics
We present a search space analysis and its application in improving local search algorithms for the graph coloring problem. Using a classical distance measure between colorings, w...

Sequential item pricing for unlimited supply
We investigate the extent to which price updates can increase the revenue of a seller with little prior information on demand. We study prior-free revenue maximization for a selle...

Quantum Search of Spatial Regions
: Can Grover’s algorithm speed up search of a physical region—for example a 2-D grid of size √ n × √ n? The problem is that √ n time seems to be needed for each query, j...

Barriers and local minima in energy landscapes of stochastic local search
: A local search algorithm operating on an instance of a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem (in particular, k-SAT) can be viewed as a stochastic process traversing successive ...
