: This paper surveys some of the work that was inspired by Wagner's general technique to prove completeness in the levels of the boolean hierarchy over NP and some related res...
We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...

We present the Conformal Embedding Analysis (CEA) for feature extraction and dimensionality reduction. Incorporating both conformal mapping and discriminating analysis, CEA projec...
We give an interactive protocol for s-t RELIABILITY, the well known reliability problem on graphs. Our protocol shows that if IP(f(n)) denotes the class of languages whose interac...

We present a polytope-kernel density estimation (PKDE) methodology that allows us to perform exact mean-shift updates along the edges of the Delaunay graph of the data. We discuss...
