Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a vertex subset problem on graphs. In a reconfiguration variant of $\mathcal{Q}$ we are given a graph $G$ and two feasible solutions $S_s, S_t\subseteq V(G)$ of $\mathcal{Q}$ with $|S_s|=|S_t|=k$. The problem is to…

The game of SET is a popular card game in which the objective is to form Sets using cards from a special deck. In this paper we study single- and multi-round variations of this game from the computational complexity point of view and…

In the Trivially Perfect Editing problem one is given an undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ and an integer $k$ and seeks to add or delete at most $k$ edges in $G$ to obtain a trivially perfect graph. In a recent work, Dumas, Perez and Todinca…

We survey classical kernel methods for providing nonparametric solutions to problems involving measurement error. In particular we outline kernel-based methodology in this setting, and discuss its basic properties. Then we point to close…

In the recent past, automatic selection or combination of kernels (or features) based on multiple kernel learning (MKL) approaches has been receiving significant attention from various research communities. Though MKL has been extensively…

Simultaneously solving multiple related learning tasks is beneficial under a variety of circumstances, but the prior knowledge necessary to correctly model task relationships is rarely available in practice. In this paper, we develop a…

In this paper we study the problem of learning the weights of a deep convolutional neural network. We consider a network where convolutions are carried out over non-overlapping patches with a single kernel in each layer. We develop an…

We present in this work a new methodology to design kernels on data which is structured with smaller components, such as text, images or sequences. This methodology is a template procedure which can be applied on most kernels on measures…

We explore Cluster Editing and its generalization Correlation Clustering with a new operation called permissive vertex splitting which addresses finding overlapping clusters in the face of uncertain information. We determine that both…

Practical optimization problems may contain different kinds of difficulties that are often not tractable if one relies on a particular optimization method. Different optimization approaches offer different strengths that are good at…

In the present paper, we study algorithmic questions for the arc-intersection graph of directed paths on a tree. Such graphs are known to be perfect (proved by Monma and Wei in 1986). We present faster algorithms than all previously known…

A proper Helly circular-arc graph is an intersection graph of a set of arcs on a circle such that none of the arcs properly contains any other arc and every set of pairwise intersecting arcs has a common intersection. The Proper Helly…

In the Colored Clustering problem, one is asked to cluster edge-colored (hyper-)graphs whose colors represent interaction types. More specifically, the goal is to select as many edges as possible without choosing two edges that share an…

Clustering a graph when the clusters can overlap can be seen from three different angles: We may look for cliques that cover the edges of the graph with bounded overlap, we may look to add or delete few edges to uncover the cluster…

We study vertex-ordering problems in loop-free digraphs subject to constraints on the left-going arcs, focusing on existence conditions and computational complexity. As an intriguing special case, we explore vertex-specific lower and upper…

Given a bipartite graph $G$, the \textsc{Bicluster Editing} problem asks for the minimum number of edges to insert or delete in $G$ so that every connected component is a bicluster, i.e. a complete bipartite graph. This has several…

An aircraft conflict occurs when two or more aircraft cross at a certain distance at the same time. Specific air traffic controllers are assigned to solve such conflicts. A controller needs to consider various types of information in order…

In the standard set reconciliation problem, there are two parties $A_1$ and $A_2$, each respectively holding a set of elements $S_1$ and $S_2$. The goal is for both parties to obtain the union $S_1 \cup S_2$. In many distributed computing…

In the Vertex Cover problem we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k$ and have to determine whether there is a set $X\subseteq V$ of size at most $k$ such that each edge in $E$ has at least one endpoint in $X$. The problem can be…

Vertex deletion to hereditary graph class is well-studied in parameterized complexity. Vertex deletion to the scattered graph classes has gained attention in recent years. In this paper, we consider (Proper-Interval, Tree)-Vertex Deletion,…
