A Framework for the Evaluation and Management of Network Centrality
Network-analysis literature is rich in node-centrality measures that quantify the centrality of a node as a function of the (shortest) paths of the network that go through it. Exi...

The Generalized Trace-Norm and its Application to Structure-from-Motion Problems
In geometric computer vision, the structure from motion (SfM) problem can be formulated as a optimization problem with a rank constraint. It is well known that the trace norm of a...
