We present a novel algorithm for computing the optimal winning bids in a combinatorial auction (CA), that is, an auction in which bidders bid for bundles of goods. All previously ...

Cycle covering is a well-studied problem in computer science. In this paper, we develop approximation algorithms for variants of cycle covering problems which bound the size and/o...

Vectorless power grid verification makes it possible to evaluate worst-case voltage drops without enumerating possible current waveforms. Under linear current constraints, the vec...
Spatial pyramid matching (SPM) is a simple yet effective approach to compute similarity between images. Similarity kernels at different regions and scales are usually fused by som...
We introduce a simple and practically efficient method for repairing inconsistent databases. The idea is to properly represent the underlying problem, and then use off-the-shelf a...
