Recently, Har-Peled [HP99b] presented a new randomized technique for online construction of the zone of a curve in a planar arrangement of arcs. In this paper, we present several ...
In this paper, we present a Branch and Bound algorithm called QuickBB for computing the treewidth of an undirected graph. This algorithm performs a search in the space of perfect ...
Selective sampling, a form of active learning, reduces the cost of labeling training data by asking only for the labels of the most informative unlabeled examples. We introduce a ...
