In this work we study shortest path problems in multimode graphs, a generalization of the min-distance measure introduced by Abboud, Vassilevska W. and Wang in [SODA'16]. A multimode shortest path is the shortest path using one of multiple…
Fastest-path queries between two points in a very large road map is an increasingly important primitive in modern transportation and navigation systems, thus very efficient computation of these paths is critical for system performance and…
Modern graph or network datasets often contain rich structure that goes beyond simple pairwise connections between nodes. This calls for complex representations that can capture, for instance, edges of different types as well as so-called…
We propose efficient distributed algorithms to aid navigation of a user through a geographic area covered by sensors. The sensors sense the level of danger at their locations and we use this information to find a safe path for the user…
Metric embeddings are central to metric theory and its applications. Here we consider embeddings of a different sort: maps from a set to subsets of a metric space so that distances between points are approximated by minimal distances…
The Hybrid network model was introduced in [Augustine et al., SODA '20] for laying down a theoretical foundation for networks which combine two possible modes of communication: One mode allows high-bandwidth communication with neighboring…

Given a road network modelled as a planar straight-line graph $G=(V,E)$ with $|V|=n$, let $(u,v)\in V\times V$, the shortest path (distance) between $u,v$ is denoted as $\delta_G(u,v)$. Let $\delta(G)=\max_{(u,v)}\delta_G(u,v)$, for…
Multi-scale detection plays an important role in object detection models. However, researchers usually feel blank on how to reasonably configure detection heads combining multi-scale features at different input resolutions. We find that…
A distance labeling scheme is an assignments of labels, that is binary strings, to all nodes of a graph, so that the distance between any two nodes can be computed from their labels and the labels are as short as possible. A major open…
How to quantify the distance between any two partitions of a finite set is an important issue in statistical classification, whenever different clustering results need to be compared. Developing from the traditional Hamming distance between…
For a given graph $G$, a "hopset" $H$ with hopbound $\beta$ and stretch $\alpha$ is a set of edges such that between every pair of vertices $u$ and $v$, there is a path with at most $\beta$ hops in $G \cup H$ that approximates the distance…
We study shortest-path routing in large weighted, undirected graphs, where expanding search frontiers raise time and memory costs for exact solvers. We propose \emph{SPHERE}, a query-aware partitioning heuristic that adaptively splits the…
We consider the Sparse Hitting Set (Sparse-HS) problem, where we are given a set system $(V,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{B})$ with two families $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{B}$ of subsets of $V$. The task is to find a hitting set for $\mathcal{F}$ that…
