Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...

Hyper-heuristics can be thought of as “heuristics to choose heuristics”. They are concerned with adaptively finding solution methods, rather than directly producing a solutio...
In many vision problems, we want to infer two (or more) hidden factors which interact to produce our observations. We may want to disentangle illuminant and object colors in color...
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
Abstract. We present a new method to break symmetry in graph coloring problems. While most alternative techniques add symmetry breaking predicates in a pre-processing step, we deve...
