Expander flows, geometric embeddings and graph partitioning
We give a O( log n)-approximation algorithm for sparsest cut, edge expansion, balanced separator, and graph conductance problems. This improves the O(log n)-approximation of Leig...

Rigid and Articulated Point Registration with Expectation Conditional Maximization
—This paper addresses the issue of matching rigid and articulated shapes through probabilistic point registration. The problem is recast into a missing data framework where unkno...

ROAR: increasing the flexibility and performance of distributed search
To search the web quickly, search engines partition the web index over many machines, and consult every partition when answering a query. To increase throughput, replicas are adde...

Directed intervention crossover applied to bio-control scheduling
—This paper describes two directed intervention crossover approaches that are applied to a bio-control dynamic system. Unlike traditional uniform crossover, both the Calculated E...

Quantum Separation of Local Search and Fixed Point Computation
In this paper, we give a lower bound of (n(d-1)/2 ) on the quantum query complexity for finding a fixed point of a discrete Brouwer function over grid [1 : n]d . Our bound is near...
