Stability Yields a PTAS for k-Median and k-Means Clustering
We consider k-median clustering in finite metric spaces and k-means clustering in Euclidean spaces, in the setting where k is part of the input (not a constant). For the k-means pr...

On the Consistency of Ranking Algorithms
We present a theoretical analysis of supervised ranking, providing necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic consistency of algorithms based on minimizing a surrogate...

Alphabet SOUP: A Framework for Approximate Energy Minimization
Many problems in computer vision can be modeled using conditional Markov random fields (CRF). Since finding the maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution in such models is NP-hard, mu...

TriangleFlow: Optical Flow with Triangulation-based Higher-Order Likelihoods
Abstract. We use a simple yet powerful higher-order conditional random field (CRF) to model optical flow. It consists of a standard photoconsistency cost and a prior on affine mo...

Solving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands using the Cross-Entropy Method
An alternate formulation of the classical vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) is considered. We propose a new heuristic method to solve the problem. The algori...
