Improved Bounds on the Average Distance to the Fermat-Weber Center of a Convex Object
We show that for any convex object Q in the plane, the average distance between the Fermat-Weber center of Q and the points in Q is at least 4(Q)/25, and at most 2(Q)/(3 3), wher...

Learning Gaussian Process Kernels via Hierarchical Bayes
We present a novel method for learning with Gaussian process regression in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. In a first step, kernel matrices on a fixed set of input points are l...

Optimization problems in multiple subtree graphs
We study various optimization problems in t-subtree graphs, the intersection graphs of tsubtrees, where a t-subtree is the union of t disjoint subtrees of some tree. This graph cl...
