It is probably fair to say that exact inference in graphical models is considered a solved problem, at least regarding its computational complexity: it is exponential in the treew...
—IEEE 802.11 WiFi equipment based wireless mesh networks have recently been proposed as an inexpensive approach to connect far-flung rural areas. Such networks are built using h...
Practical applications that employ entropy coding for large alphabets often partition the alphabet set into two or more layers and encode each symbol by using some suitable prefix...

We study the problem of minimizing the diameter of a graph by adding k shortcut edges, for speeding up communication in an existing network design. We develop constant-factor appro...
