Natural Language Processing (NLP) provides highly effective tools for interpreting and handling human language, offering a broad spectrum of applications. In this paper, we address a classic combinatorial problem -- finding graph partitions…

In model predictive control (MPC) for hybrid systems, solving optimization problems efficiently and with guarantees on worst-case computational complexity is critical to satisfy the real-time constraints in these applications. These…

In many operational contexts, solutions to NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, modeled by means of Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP), may become infeasible due to unpredictable disruptions. Typically, reoptimizing by solving…

We consider a variant of the clustering problem for a complete weighted graph. The aim is to partition the nodes into clusters maximizing the sum of the edge weights within the clusters. This problem is known as the clique partitioning…

This paper presents a hybrid CPU-GPU framework for solving combinatorial scheduling problems formulated as Integer Linear Programming (ILP). While scheduling underpins many optimization tasks in computing systems, solving these problems…

Clustering is a NP-hard problem. Thus, no optimal algorithm exists, heuristics are applied to cluster the data. Heuristics can be very resource-intensive, if not applied properly. For substantially large data sets computational efficiencies…

We present new randomized algorithms that improve the complexity of the classic $(\Delta+1)$-coloring problem, and its generalization $(\Delta+1)$-list-coloring, in three well-studied models of distributed, parallel, and centralized…

This paper proposes a novel primal heuristic for Mixed Integer Programs, by employing machine learning techniques. Mixed Integer Programming is a general technique for formulating combinatorial optimization problems. Inside a solver, primal…

We transform join ordering into a mixed integer linear program (MILP). This allows to address query optimization by mature MILP solver implementations that have evolved over decades and steadily improved their performance. They offer…

Link prediction in a graph is the problem of detecting the missing links that would be formed in the near future. Using a graph representation of the data, we can convert the problem of classification to the problem of link prediction which…

In the minimum common string partition (MCSP) problem two related input strings are given. "Related" refers to the property that both strings consist of the same set of letters appearing the same number of times in each of the two strings.…

This paper studies the problem of graph-level clustering, which is a novel yet challenging task. This problem is critical in a variety of real-world applications such as protein clustering and genome analysis in bioinformatics. Recent years…

The maximal biclique enumeration problem in bipartite graphs is fundamental and has numerous applications in E-commerce and transaction networks. Most existing studies adopt a branch-and-bound framework, which recursively expands a partial…

Numerous graph neural network (GNN)-based algorithms have been proposed to solve graph-based combinatorial optimization problems (COPs), but methods to explain their predictions remain largely undeveloped. We introduce ARM-Explainer, a…

This paper presents a novel meta algorithm, Partition-Merge (PM), which takes existing centralized algorithms for graph computation and makes them distributed and faster. In a nutshell, PM divides the graph into small subgraphs using our…

Graph Coloring Problem (GCP) is an NP-Hard vertex labeling problem in graphs such that no two adjacent vertices can have the same color. Large instances of GCP cannot be solved in reasonable execution times by exact algorithms. Therefore,…

Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) is one of the most widely used modeling techniques for combinatorial optimization problems. In many applications, a similar MIP model is solved on a regular basis, maintaining remarkable similarities in model…

We study the cost function for hierarchical clusterings introduced by [arXiv:1510.05043] where hierarchies are treated as first-class objects rather than deriving their cost from projections into flat clusters. It was also shown in…

Biclustering, also called co-clustering, block clustering, or two-way clustering, involves the simultaneous clustering of both the rows and columns of a data matrix into distinct groups, such that the rows and columns within a group display…

Graph clustering is the process of grouping vertices into densely connected sets called clusters. We tailor two mathematical programming formulations from the literature, to this problem. In doing so, we obtain a heuristic approximation to…
