Properties of Bethe Free Energies and Message Passing in Gaussian Models
We address the problem of computing approximate marginals in Gaussian probabilistic models by using mean field and fractional Bethe approximations. We define the Gaussian fracti...

Memory mapped ECC: low-cost error protection for last level caches
This paper presents a novel technique, Memory Mapped ECC, which reduces the cost of providing error correction for SRAM caches. It is important to limit such overheads as processo...

Near-optimal algorithms for unique games
Unique games are constraint satisfaction problems that can be viewed as a generalization of Max-Cut to a larger domain size. The Unique Games Conjecture states that it is hard to ...

Note on MAX 2SAT
In this note we present an approximation algorithm for MAX 2SAT that given a (1 - ) satisfiable instance finds an assignment of variables satisfying a 1 - O( ) fraction of all co...

Improved Inapproximability Results for Maximum k-Colorable Subgraph
We study the maximization version of the fundamental graph coloring problem. Here the goal is to color the vertices of a k-colorable graph with k colors so that a maximum fraction ...
