Cardinality constraints or, more generally, weight constraints are well recognized as an important extension of answer-set programming. Clearly, all common algorithmic tasks related to programs with cardinality or weight constraints - like…
In the Tree Deletion Set problem the input is a graph G together with an integer k. The objective is to determine whether there exists a set S of at most k vertices such that G-S is a tree. The problem is NP-complete and even NP-hard to…
We consider the problem of drawing multiple gene trees inside a single species tree in order to visualize multispecies coalescent trees. Specifically, the drawing of the species tree fills a rectangle in which each of its edges is…

Decision forests induce supervised similarities through the partition structure of their trees. Yet forest proximity computation is still often treated as a quadratic operation in the number of samples, which limits scalability and…

Kernel methods have achieved very good performance on large scale regression and classification problems, by using the Nystr\"om method and preconditioning techniques. The Nystr\"om approximation -- based on a subset of landmarks -- gives a…

Regularization is an essential element of virtually all kernel methods for nonparametric regression problems. A critical factor in the effectiveness of a given kernel method is the type of regularization that is employed. This article…
The maximum common subtree isomorphism problem asks for the largest possible isomorphism between subtrees of two given input trees. This problem is a natural restriction of the maximum common subgraph problem, which is ${\sf NP}$-hard in…
Interpolation and approximation of functionals with conditionally positive definite kernels is considered on sets of centers that are not determining for polynomials. It is shown that polynomial consistency is sufficient in order to define…
