We consider the problem of extracting informative exemplars from a data stream. Examples of this problem include exemplarbased clustering and nonparametric inference such as Gauss...
We describe an energy minimization algorithm for functions defined on 4-connected lattices, of the type usually encountered in problems involving images. Such functions are often ...
Abstract— Applications in complex systems such as the Internet have spawned recent interest in studying situations involving multiple agents with their individual cost or utility...
In this paper, we present two techniques to analyze greedy approximation with nonsubmodular functions restricted submodularity and shifted submodularity. As an application of the ...

Abstract— We study algorithms for the SUBMODULAR MULTIWAY PARTITION problem (SUB-MP). An instance of SUB-MP consists of a finite ground set V , a subset S = {s1, s2, . . . , sk}...
