Graph-based methods form a main category of semisupervised
learning, offering flexibility and easy implementation
in many applications. However, the performance of
these methods...

Abstract. Feige and Kilian [5] showed that finding reasonable approximative solutions to the coloring problem on graphs is hard. This motivates the quest for algorithms that eithe...
First-order Markov models have been successfully applied to many problems, for example in modeling sequential data using Markov chains, and modeling control problems using the Mar...
We study the worst-case communication complexity of distributed algorithms computing a path problem based on stationary distributions of random walks in a network G with the caveat...
Probabilistic planning problems are typically modeled as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). MDPs, while an otherwise expressive model, allow only for sequential, non-durative action...
