The Odd Cycle Transversal problem (OCT) asks whether a given graph can be made bipartite by deleting at most k of its vertices. In a breakthrough result Reed, Smith, and Vetta (Op...
A general framework is proposed for gradient boosting in supervised learning problems where the loss function is defined using a kernel over the output space. It extends boosting ...
Abstract—We investigate some basic questions about the interaction of regular and rational relations on words. The primary motivation comes from the study of logics for querying ...
We present an algorithm that for any graph G and integer k ≥ 0 in time polynomial in the size of G either nds a spanning tree with at least k internal vertices, or outputs a ne...

Connectivity augmentation problems ask for adding a set of at most k edges whose insertion makes a given graph satisfy a specified connectivity property, such as bridge-connectivi...
