We consider the problem of obtaining “nice” quadrangulations of planar sets of points. For many applications “nice” means that the quadrilaterals obtained are convex if po...
We present algorithms for a class of resource allocation problems both in the online setting with stochastic input and in the offline setting. This class of problems contains man...

We present a new method for multi-object segmentation in a maximum a posteriori estimation framework. Our method is motivated by the observation that neighboring or coupling objec...
