We review the concepts of hypertree decomposition and hypertree width from a graph theoretical perspective and report on a number of recent results related to these concepts. We al...

The best approximation algorithm for Max Cut in graphs of maximum degree 3 uses semidefinite programming, has approximation ratio 0.9326, and its running time is (n3.5 log n) ; bu...
We present an approximate implicitization method for planar curves. The computed implicit representation is a piecewise rational approximation of the distance function to the given...
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
Milgram’s experiment (1967) demonstrated that there are short chains of acquaintances between individuals, and that these chains can be discovered in a greedy manner. Kleinberg ...
