We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
In this paper, a similarity-driven cluster merging method is proposed for unsupervised fuzzy clustering. The cluster merging method is used to resolve the problem of cluster valid...
We give a (1 - 1/e)-approximation algorithm for the Max-Profit Generalized Assignment Problem (Max-GAP) with fixed profits when the profit (but not necessarily the size) of every ...
Given a graph (directed or undirected) with costs on the edges, and an integer k, we consider the problem of nding a k-node connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost. For the ge...
Iterative algorithm based on quantum tunneling is proposed by making use of mean-eld approximation. W e apply our method to the problem of BW image reconstruction (IR). Its perfor...
