We give a deterministic algorithm to find the minimum cut in a surface-embedded graph in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g,...
Graph-based methods form a main category of semisupervised
learning, offering flexibility and easy implementation
in many applications. However, the performance of
these methods...

In this paper we present a graph cuts based active contours (GCBAC) approach to object segmentation problems. Our method is a combination of active contours and the optimization t...
We study the fundamental problem of computing distances between nodes in large graphs such as the web graph and social networks. Our objective is to be able to answer distance que...

Abstract. In this paper we present a novel approach to the graph isomorphism problem. We combine a direct approach, that tries to find a mapping between the two input graphs using...
