Abstract. We consider the single machine scheduling problem to minimize the average weighted completion time under precedence constrains. Improving on the various 2-approximation a...
In a Stackelberg pricing game a leader aims to set prices on a subset of a given collection of items, such as to maximize her revenue from a follower purchasing a feasible subset o...

Let G(V, E) be a weighted, undirected, connected simple graph with n vertices and m edges. The k most vital edge problem with respect to minimum spanning trees is to find a set S o...
In this paper we address the problem of building a good speech recognizer if there is only a small amount of training data available. The acoustic models can be improved by interpo...

Semi-supervised clustering algorithms aim to improve clustering results using limited supervision. The supervision is generally given as pairwise constraints; such constraints are...
