Abstract. In this paper we define a new similarity measure, the nonbreaking similarity, which is the complement of the famous breakpoint distance between genomes (in general, betw...

We study an NP-hard (and MaxSNP-hard) problem in trees--Multicommodity Demand Flow--dealing with demand flows between pairs of nodes and trying to maximize the value of the routed...
In structured prediction problems, outputs are not confined to binary labels; they are often complex objects such as sequences, trees, or alignments. Support Vector Machine (SVM) ...
A flow on a directed network is said to be confluent if the flow uses at most one outgoing arc at each node. Confluent flows arise naturally from destination-based routing. We stud...
We consider the problem of estimating the distribution underlying an observed sample of data. Instead of maximum likelihood, which maximizes the probability of the observed values...
