In this paper we study a fundamental open problem in the area of probabilistic checkable proofs: What is the smallest s such that NP naPCP1,s[O(log n), 3]? In the language of har...
We address the issue of detecting automatically occurrences of high level patterns in audiovisual documents. These patterns correspond to recurring sequences of shots, which are co...
The Quantified Constraint Satisfaction Problem (QCSP) has been introduced to express situations in which we are not able to control the value of some of the variables (the universa...
: The bene ts of the object, logic or relational, functional, and constraint paradigms can be obtained from our previous combination of the object and functional paradigms in hidde...
In this paper we show a reduction from the Unique Games problem to the problem of approximating MAX-CUT to within a factor of GW + , for all > 0; here GW .878567 denotes the a...
