Multiple Structural RNA Alignment with Lagrangian Relaxation
In contrast to proteins, many classes of functionally related RNA molecules show a rather weak sequence conservation but instead a fairly well conserved secondary structure. Hence ...

Inconsistent parameter estimation in Markov random fields: Benefits in the computation-limited setting
Consider the problem of joint parameter estimation and prediction in a Markov random field: i.e., the model parameters are estimated on the basis of an initial set of data, and th...

Scheduling Unrelated Machines by Randomized Rounding
We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea i...

A Faster, Better Approximation Algorithm for the Minimum Latency Problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...

Optimal 3-terminal cuts and linear programming
Given an undirected graph G = (V;E) and three speci ed terminal nodes t1;t2;t3, a 3-cut is a subset A of E such that no two terminals are in the same component of GnA. If a non-neg...
