Expander flows, geometric embeddings and graph partitioning
We give a O( log n)-approximation algorithm for sparsest cut, edge expansion, balanced separator, and graph conductance problems. This improves the O(log n)-approximation of Leig...

Tailoring text for automatic layouting of newspaper pages
We consider layouting news articles on a page as a cutting and packing problem with output maximization. We propose to tailor news articles by employing automatic summarization to...

Protrusion-oriented 3D mesh segmentation
Abstract In this paper, we present a segmentation algorithm which partitions a mesh based on the premise that a 3D object consists of a core body and its constituent protrusible pa...
