: A fundamental problem in communication networks is wavelength assignment (WA): given a set of routing paths on a network, assign a wavelength to each path such that the paths wit...
The class of piecewise linear homeomorphisms (PLH) provides a convenient functional representation for many applications wherein an approximation to data is required that is inver...

We present a new approximate inference algorithm for Deep Boltzmann Machines (DBM's), a generative model with many layers of hidden variables. The algorithm learns a separate...
We consider the problem of estimating the tour length and finding approximation algorithms for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem arising from the disk scheduling problem. ...
Histogram construction or sequence segmentation is a basic task with applications in database systems, information retrieval, and knowledge management. Its aim is to approximate a...
