: In this paper, we study spectral versions of the densest subgraph problem and the largest independence subset problem. In the first part, we give an algorithm for identifying sm...
We consider the problem of estimating the 3D shape and reflectance properties of an object made of a single material from a calibrated set of multiple views. To model reflectance, ...
We prove that for any positive integer k, there is a constant ck such that a randomly selected set of cknk log n Boolean vectors with high probability supports a balanced k-wise i...
Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...
In this work we consider the task of relaxing the i.i.d. assumption in pattern recognition (or classification), aiming to make existing learning algorithms applicable to a wider r...
