Suppose we have a directed graph G with set of nodes V = {1, . . . , N} and a measure xi for every node i V . The average consensus problem consists in computing the average xA = ...
Most cost function based clustering or partitioning methods measure the compactness of groups of data. In contrast to this picture of a point source in feature space, some data sou...
Semidefinite programs (SDP) have been used in many recent approximation algorithms. We develop a general primal-dual approach to solve SDPs using a generalization of the well-know...
Graphs provide an efficient tool for object representation in various computer vision applications. Once graph-based representations are constructed, an important question is how ...

Generalized belief propagation (GBP) has proven to be a promising technique for approximate inference tasks in AI and machine learning. However, the choice of a good set of cluste...
