At the heart of many scientific conferences is the problem of matching submitted papers to suitable reviewers. Arriving at a good assignment is a major and important challenge fo...

The problem of learning the structure of Bayesian networks from complete discrete data with a limit on parent set size is considered. Learning is cast explicitly as an optimisatio...
The recognition of text in everyday scenes is made difficult by viewing conditions, unusual fonts, and lack of linguistic context. Most methods integrate a priori appearance info...

Visual compliance has emerged as a new paradigm to ensure that employees comply with processes and policies in a business context [1]. In this paper, we focus on videos from retai...
We consider a class of non-linear mixed integer programs with n integer variables and k continuous variables. Solving instances from this class to optimality is an NP-hard problem....

Consider a 0/1 integer program min{cT x : Ax b, x {0, 1}n } where A is nonnegative. We show that if the number of minimal covers of Ax b is polynomially bounded, then there is ...
Consider an integer program max(ct x : Ax = b, x ≥ 0, x ∈ Zn ) where A ∈ Zm×n , b ∈ Zm , and c ∈ Zn . We show that the integer program can be solved in pseudo-polynomial...
Orbital branching is a method for branching on variables in integer programming that reduces the likelihood of evaluating redundant, isomorphic nodes in the branch-and-bound proce...

Mixed Multi-Unit Combinatorial Auctions offer a high potential to be employed for the automated assembly of supply chains of agents offering goods and services. Their winner deter...

Abstract We report on experiments with turning the branch-price-andcut framework SCIP into a generic branch-price-and-cut solver. That is, given a mixed integer program (MIP), our ...
