We present the first polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASes) for the following subset-connectivity problems in edge-weighted graphs of bounded genus: Steiner tree, low-conn...

Abstract. Since in general it is NP-hard to solve the minimum dominating set problem even approximatively, a lot of work has been dedicated to central and distributed approximation...
Approximate string matching problem is a common and often repeated task in information retrieval and bioinformatics. This paper proposes a generic design of a programmable array p...

We present a new estimator for counting the number of solutions of a Boolean satisfiability problem as a part of an importance sampling framework. The estimator uses the recently...
Many problems in computer vision can be modeled using
conditional Markov random fields (CRF). Since finding
the maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution in such models
is NP-hard, mu...
