Fixing Max-Product: Convergent Message Passing Algorithms for MAP LP-Relaxations
We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...

On the geometry of graphs with a forbidden minor
We study the topological simplification of graphs via random embeddings, leading ultimately to a reduction of the Gupta-Newman-Rabinovich-Sinclair (GNRS) L1 embedding conjecture t...

Coalition Structure Generation based on Distributed Constraint Optimization
Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in AI and multi-agent systems (MAS). Coalition Structure Generation (CSG) involves partitioning a set of agents into coa...

Short length menger's theorem and reliable optical routing
In the minimum path coloring problem, we are given a graph and a set of pairs of vertices of the graph and we are asked to connect the pairs by colored paths in such a way that pa...
