Given a graph $G = (V,E)$ and a subset $T \subseteq V$ of terminals, a \emph{Steiner tree} of $G$ is a tree that spans $T$. In the vertex-weighted Steiner tree (VST) problem, each vertex is assigned a non-negative weight, and the goal is to…
Recent deep network-based compressive sensing (CS) methods have achieved great success. However, most of them regard different sampling matrices as different independent tasks and need to train a specific model for each target sampling…

A valued constraint satisfaction problem (VCSP) instance $(V,\Pi,w)$ is a set of variables $V$ with a set of constraints $\Pi$ weighted by $w$. Given a VCSP instance, we are interested in a re-weighted sub-instance $(V,\Pi'\subset \Pi,w')$…
