Improved approximation algorithms for multidimensional bin packing problems
In this paper we introduce a new general framework for set covering problems, based on the combination of randomized rounding of the (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programm...

Learning the kernel matrix in discriminant analysis via quadratically constrained quadratic programming
The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. In this paper, we consider the automated learning of the kernel matrix over a convex combination of pre-specified kerne...

An Improved Approximation Algorithm for Multiway Cut
Given an undirected graph with edge costs and a subset of k nodes called terminals, a multiway cut is a subset of edges whose removal disconnects each terminal from the rest. Mult...

Approximation Algorithms for Unique Games
We present a polynomial time algorithm based on semidefinite programming that, given a unique game of value 1 − O(1/ log n), satisfies a constant fraction of constraints, wher...

Approximation algorithms for the 0-extension problem
In the 0-extension problem, we are given a weighted graph with some nodes marked as terminals and a semimetric on the set of terminals. Our goal is to assign the rest of the nodes ...
