We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
We propose a method for finding seeds for the local alignment of two nucleotide sequences. Our method uses randomized algorithms to find approximate seeds. We present a dynamic ...
We study the problem of covering a set of points or polyhedra in 3 with two axis-aligned boxes in order to minimize a function of the measures of the two boxes, such as the sum or...

We propose a fast algorithm for solving the ℓ1-regularized minimization problem minx∈Rn µ x 1 + Ax − b 2 2 for recovering sparse solutions to an undetermined system of linea...
Several problems in text categorization are too hard to be solved by standard bag-of-words representations. Work in kernel-based learning has approached this problem by (i) consid...
