Loopy and generalized belief propagation are popular algorithms for approximate inference in Markov random fields and Bayesian networks. Fixed points of these algorithms correspo...
Using a recently proposed model for combinatorial landscapes, Local Optima Networks (LON), we conduct a thorough analysis of two types of instances of the Quadratic Assignment Prob...
Identifying small groups of lines, whose removal would cause a severe blackout, is critical for the secure operation of the electric power grid. We show how power grid vulnerabilit...

Traditionally, combinatorial optimization problems (such as maximum flow, maximum matching, etc.) have been studied for networks where each link has a fixed capacity. Recent resear...

We introduce the patch transform, where an image is broken into non-overlapping patches, and modifications or constraints are applied in the "patch domain". A modified i...
