Finding the exact treewidth of a graph is central to many operations in a variety of areas, including probabilistic reasoning and constraint satisfaction. Treewidth can be found b...
In this paper, we introduce and study the Minimum Consistent Subset Cover (MCSC) problem. Given a finite ground set X and a constraint t, find the minimum number of consistent sub...

Expanding a seed set into a larger community is a common procedure in link-based analysis. We show how to adapt recent results from theoretical computer science to expand a seed s...
Abstract. The purpose of this paper is (1) to provide a theoretical justification for the use of Monte-Carlo sampling for approximate resolution of NP-hard maximization problems in...
The board game FragmindTM poses the following problem: The player has to reconstruct an (unknown) string s over the alphabet . To this end, the game reports the following informati...
