In this paper we formulate spectral clustering in directed graphs as an optimization problem, the objective being a weighted cut in the directed graph. This objective extends seve...
The problem of choosing fast implementations for a class of recursive algorithms such as the fast Fourier transforms can be formulated as an optimization problem over the language...
In this paper, we present a novel active contour model, in which the traditional gradient descent optimization is replaced by graph cut optimization. The basic idea is to first de...

We introduce a variant of Aldous and Vazirani's \Go with the winners" algorithm that can be used for search graphs that are not trees. We analyze the algorithm in terms ...
For an edge-weighted connected undirected graph, the minimum k-way cut problem is to find a subset of edges of minimum total weight whose removal separates the graph into k connect...
