The graph exploration problem is to visit all the nodes of a connected graph by a mobile entity, e.g., a robot. The robot has no a priori knowledge of the topology of the graph or of its size. Cohen et al. \cite{Ilcinkas08} introduced label…
There are many classical problems in P whose time complexities have not been improved over the past decades. Recent studies of "Hardness in P" have revealed that, for several of such problems, the current fastest algorithm is the best…
Label distribution learning (LDL) trains a model to predict the relevance of a set of labels (called label distribution (LD)) to an instance. The previous LDL methods all assumed the LDs of the training instances are accurate. However,…
We propose two fixed-parameter tractable algorithms for the weighted Max-Cut problem on embedded 1-planar graphs parameterized by the crossing number $k$ of the given embedding. A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane…
In the graph label selection problem, one is given an $n$-vertex graph and a budget $k$, and seeks to select $k$ vertices whose labels enable accurate prediction of the labels on the remaining vertices. This problem formalizes distilling a…
We present a variational algorithm for fault tolerant quantum computing to solve a system of linear equations which directly maximises the parameters of the target fidelity. This so-called measurement test algorithm can be applied to any…
We consider integer programs whose constraint matrix has a special block structure: $\min\{f(x):H_{com}x=b, l\le x\le u,x\in\mathbb{Z}^{t_B+nt_A}\}$, where the objective function $f$ is separable convex and the constraint matrix $H_ {com}$…
The graph isomorphism, subgraph isomorphism, and graph edit distance problems are combinatorial problems with many applications. Heuristic exact and approximate algorithms for each of these problems have been developed for different kinds…
We study a generalization of the classic Global Min-Cut problem, called Global Label Min-Cut (or sometimes Global Hedge Min-Cut): the edges of the input (multi)graph are labeled (or partitioned into color classes or hedges), and removing…
An L(2,1)-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the set of nonnegative integers such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 2$ if $x$ and $y$ are adjacent and $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 1$ if $x$ and $y$ are at distance 2, for all…
The parameter-uniform convergence of a fitted operator method for a singularly perturbed differential equation is normally available only for uniform meshes. Here we establish the parameter-uniform convergence of a fitted operator method on…
We investigate the parameterized complexity of Vertex Cover parameterized by the difference between the size of the optimal solution and the value of the linear programming (LP) relaxation of the problem. By carefully analyzing the change…
We present the first parameterized analysis of a standard (1+1) Evolutionary Algorithm on a distribution of vertex cover problems. We show that if the planted cover is at most logarithmic, restarting the (1+1) EA every $O(n \log n)$ steps…
Edge-labeled graphs are widely used to describe relationships between entities in a database. Given a query subgraph that represents an example of what the user is searching for, we study the problem of efficiently searching for similar…
We present the first near optimal approximation schemes for the maximum weighted (uncapacitated or capacitated) $b$--matching problems for non-bipartite graphs that run in time (near) linear in the number of edges. For any…
Recent successes of game-theoretic formulations in ML have caused a resurgence of research interest in differentiable games. Overwhelmingly, that research focuses on methods and upper bounds on their speed of convergence. In this work, we…
Given an integer $k$ and a graph where every edge is colored either red or blue, the goal of the exact matching problem is to find a perfect matching with the property that exactly $k$ of its edges are red. Soon after Papadimitriou and…
We show how to assign labels of size $\tilde O(1)$ to the vertices of a directed planar graph $G$, such that from the labels of any three vertices $s,t,f$ we can deduce in $\tilde O(1)$ time whether $t$ is reachable from $s$ in the graph…
Time-series generated by end-users, edge devices, and different wearables are mostly unlabelled. We propose a method to auto-generate labels of un-labelled time-series, exploiting very few representative labelled time-series. Our method is…
We study a variant of the subgraph isomorphism problem that is of high interest to the quantum computing community. Our results give an algorithm to perform pattern matching in quantum circuits for many patterns simultaneously,…
