Convex Clustering with Exemplar-Based Models
Clustering is often formulated as the maximum likelihood estimation of a mixture model that explains the data. The EM algorithm widely used to solve the resulting optimization pro...

Adaptive approximate nearest neighbor search for fractal image compression
Fractal image encoding is a computationally intensive method of compression due to its need to find the best match between image sub-blocks by repeatedly searching a large virtual...

Optimizing the Cauchy-Schwarz PDF Distance for Information Theoretic, Non-parametric Clustering
This paper addresses the problem of efficient information theoretic, non-parametric data clustering. We develop a procedure for adapting the cluster memberships of the data pattern...

Local algorithms in (weakly) coloured graphs
A local algorithm is a distributed algorithm that completes after a constant number of synchronous communication rounds. We present local approximation algorithms for the minimum ...

When crossings count - approximating the minimum spanning tree
We present an (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for computing the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings betwee...
