Efficiently solving convex relaxations for MAP estimation
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori (map) estimate of a discrete random field is of fundamental importance in many areas of Computer Science. In this work, we build ...

Near-optimal algorithms for unique games
Unique games are constraint satisfaction problems that can be viewed as a generalization of Max-Cut to a larger domain size. The Unique Games Conjecture states that it is hard to ...

Constraint-based LN-curves
We consider the design of parametric curves from geometric constraints such as distance from lines or points and tangency to lines or circles. We solve the Hermite problem with su...
