In this paper we address the problem of how to learn a structural prototype that can be used to represent the variations present in a set of trees. The prototype serves as a patte...
The problem of routing of sensor observations for optimal detection of a Markov random field (MRF) at a designated fusion center is analyzed. Assuming that the correlation structur...
The Steiner tree problem asks for a minimum cost tree spanning a given set of terminals S ⊆ V in a weighted graph G = (V, E, c), c : E → R+ . In this paper we consider a genera...
Motivated by online ad allocation, we study the problem of simultaneous approximations for the adversarial and stochastic online budgeted allocation problem. This problem consists...

We analyze the performance of evolutionary algorithms on various matroid optimization problems that encompass a vast number of efficiently solvable as well as NP-hard combinatoria...
