Abstract One method which has been used very successfully for finding optimal and provably good solutions for large instances of the Symmetric Travelling Salesman Problem (STSP) i...
Efficient global optimization techniques such as graph cut exist for energies corresponding to binary image segmentation from lowlevel cues. However, introducing a high-level prior...
Abstract. We present an algorithmic framework for integrating solution methods that is based on search, inference, and relaxation and their interactions. We show that the following...
In this paper we present a methodology for finding tight convex relaxations for a special set of quadratic constraints given by bilinear and linear terms that frequently arise in ...
Abstract. We provide a framework for the design and analysis of dynamic programming algorithms for surface-embedded graphs on n vertices and branchwidth at most k. Our technique ap...
