The main goal of this article is to discuss a controllability approach to the image matching / shape identification problem, an important issue in many applications, medical ones ...
Histograms are typically used to approximate data distributions. Histograms and related synopsis structures have been successful in a wide variety of popular database applications...
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...

In many structured prediction problems, the highest-scoring labeling is hard to compute exactly, leading to the use of approximate inference methods. However, when inference is us...
Pair approximations have often been used to predict equilibrium conditions in spatially-explicit epidemiological and ecological systems. In this work, we investigate whether this ...
