Metric Embeddings with Relaxed Guarantees
We consider the problem of embedding finite metrics with slack: we seek to produce embeddings with small dimension and distortion while allowing a (small) constant fraction of al...

Ordinal embeddings of minimum relaxation: General properties, trees, and ultrametrics
We introduce a new notion of embedding, called minimum-relaxation ordinal embedding, parallel to the standard notion of minimum-distortion (metric) embedding. In an ordinal embedd...

Constant Approximation Algorithms for Embedding Graph Metrics into Trees and Outerplanar Graphs
We present a simple factor 6 algorithm for approximating the optimal multiplicative distortion of embedding (unweighted) graph metrics into tree metrics (thus improving and simplif...

Circular partitions with applications to visualization and embeddings
We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...

Quadratic programming relaxations for metric labeling and Markov random field MAP estimation
Quadratic program relaxations are proposed as an alternative to linear program relaxations and tree reweighted belief propagation for the metric labeling or MAP estimation problem...
