We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
Given a permutation π of {1, . . . , n} and a positive integer k, we give an algorithm with running time 2O(k2 log k) nO(1) that decides whether π can be partitioned into at mos...

For an edge-weighted connected undirected graph, the minimum k-way cut problem is to find a subset of edges of minimum total weight whose removal separates the graph into k connect...
We investigate a variant of the Fixed Charge Shortest Paths problem which enumerates the sequence of optimal solutions that arise as the focus shifts from the fixed cost parameter...
There is now a huge amount of high quality photometric data available in the literature whose analysis is bound to play a fundamental role in studies of the formation and evolution...
