We study a novel clustering problem in which the pairwise relations between objects are categorical. This problem can be viewed as clustering the vertices of a graph whose edges a...

We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a "semiduality" between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree...
Abstract— We develop a general framework for MAP estimation in discrete and Gaussian graphical models using Lagrangian relaxation techniques. The key idea is to reformulate an in...

We consider succinct, or highly space-efficient, representations of a (static) string consisting of n pairs of balanced parentheses, that support natural operations such as findi...

Features are essential characteristic of applications within a product line. Features organized in different kinds of diagrams containing hierarchies of feature trees are closely ...
