Approximation algorithms via contraction decomposition
We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bou...

Beyond Trees: MRF Inference via Outer-Planar Decomposition
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in Markov Random Fields (MRFs) is an NP-hard problem, and thus research has focussed on either finding efficiently solvable subclasses (e.g. t...

Nonnegative 3-way tensor factorization via conjugate gradient with globally optimal stepsize
This paper deals with the minimal polyadic decomposition (also known as canonical decomposition or Parafac) of a 3way array, assuming each entry is positive. In this case, the low...
