Semidefinite programs (SDP) have been used in many recent approximation algorithms. We develop a general primal-dual approach to solve SDPs using a generalization of the well-know...
Abstract. Determining the integrality gap of the bidirected cut relaxation for the metric Steiner tree problem, and exploiting it algorithmically, is a long-standing open problem. ...

Automatic keyword annotation is a promising solution to enable more effective image search by using keywords. In this paper, we propose a novel automatic image annotation method b...
A local graph partitioning algorithm finds a cut near a specified starting vertex, with a running time that depends largely on the size of the small side of the cut, rather than...
Graph clustering (also called graph partitioning) -- clustering the nodes of a graph -- is an important problem in diverse data mining applications. Traditional approaches involve...
