  text: We propose a dual decomposition and linear program relaxation of the NP-hard
    minimum cost multicut problem. Unlike other polyhedral relaxations of the multicut
    polytope, it is amenable to efficient optimization by message passing. Like other
    polyhedral relaxations, it can be tightened efficiently by cutting planes.  We
    define an algorithm that alternates between message passing and efficient separation
    of cycle- and odd-wheel inequalities. This algorithm is more efficient than state-of-the-art
    algorithms based on linear programming, including algorithms written in the framework
    of leading commercial software, as we show in experiments with large instances
    of the problem from applications in computer vision, biomedical image analysis
    and data mining.

  text: We study the quadratic assignment problem, in computer vision also known as
    graph matching. Two leading solvers for this problem optimize the Lagrange decomposition
    duals with sub-gradient and dual ascent (also known as message passing) updates.
    We explore this direction further and propose several additional Lagrangean relaxations
    of the graph matching problem along with corresponding algorithms, which are all
    based on a common dual ascent framework. Our extensive empirical evaluation gives
    several theoretical insights and suggests a new state-of-the-art anytime solver
    for the considered problem. Our improvement over state-of-the-art is particularly
    visible on a new dataset with large-scale sparse problem instances containing
    more than 500 graph nodes each.

  text: We  propose  a  general  dual  ascent  framework  for  Lagrangean decomposition
    of combinatorial problems.  Although methods of this type have shown their efficiency
    for a number of problems, so far there was no general algorithm applicable to
    multiple problem types. In this work, we propose such a general algorithm. It
    depends on several parameters, which can be used to optimize its performance in
    each particular setting. We demonstrate efficacy of our method on graph matching
    and multicut problems, where it outperforms state-of-the-art solvers including
    those based on subgradient optimization and off-the-shelf linear programming solvers.

  text: The main result of this paper is a generalization of the classical blossom
    algorithm for finding perfect matchings. Our algorithm can efficiently solve Boolean
    CSPs where each variable appears in exactly two constraints (we call it edge CSP)
    and all constraints are even Δ-matroid relations (represented by lists of tuples).
    As a consequence of this, we settle the complexity classification of planar Boolean
    CSPs started by Dvorak and Kupec. Knowing that edge CSP is tractable for even
    Δ-matroid constraints allows us to extend the tractability result to a larger
    class of Δ-matroids that includes many classes that were known to be tractable
    before, namely co-independent, compact, local and binary.

  text: "An instance of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is given by a finite
    set of\r\nvariables, a finite domain of labels, and a set of constraints, each
    constraint acting on\r\na subset of the variables. The goal is to find an assignment
    of labels to its variables\r\nthat satisfies all constraints (or decide whether
    one exists). If we allow more general\r\n“soft” constraints, which come with (possibly
    infinite) costs of particular assignments,\r\nwe obtain instances from a richer
    class called Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem\r\n(VCSP). There the goal
    is to find an assignment with minimum total cost.\r\nIn this thesis, we focus
    (assuming that P\r\n6\r\n=\r\nNP) on classifying computational com-\r\nplexity
    of CSPs and VCSPs under certain restricting conditions. Two results are the core\r\ncontent
    of the work. In one of them, we consider VCSPs parametrized by a constraint\r\nlanguage,
    that is the set of “soft” constraints allowed to form the instances, and finish\r\nthe
    complexity classification modulo (missing pieces of) complexity classification
    for\r\nanalogously parametrized CSP. The other result is a generalization of Edmonds’
    perfect\r\nmatching algorithm. This generalization contributes to complexity classfications
    in two\r\nways. First, it gives a new (largest known) polynomial-time solvable
    class of Boolean\r\nCSPs in which every variable may appear in at most two constraints
    and second, it\r\nsettles full classification of Boolean CSPs with planar drawing
    (again parametrized by a\r\nconstraint language)."

  text: We consider Conditional random fields (CRFs) with pattern-based potentials
    defined on a chain. In this model the energy of a string (labeling) (Formula presented.)
    is the sum of terms over intervals [i, j] where each term is non-zero only if
    the substring (Formula presented.) equals a prespecified pattern w. Such CRFs
    can be naturally applied to many sequence tagging problems. We present efficient
    algorithms for the three standard inference tasks in a CRF, namely computing (i)
    the partition function, (ii) marginals, and (iii) computing the MAP. Their complexities
    are respectively (Formula presented.), (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.)
    where L is the combined length of input patterns, (Formula presented.) is the
    maximum length of a pattern, and D is the input alphabet. This improves on the
    previous algorithms of Ye et al. (NIPS, 2009) whose complexities are respectively
    (Formula presented.), (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.), where (Formula
    presented.) is the number of input patterns. In addition, we give an efficient
    algorithm for sampling, and revisit the case of MAP with non-positive weights.

  text: We consider the problem of minimizing the continuous valued total variation
    subject to different unary terms on trees and propose fast direct algorithms based
    on dynamic programming to solve these problems. We treat both the convex and the
    nonconvex case and derive worst-case complexities that are equal to or better
    than existing methods. We show applications to total variation based two dimensional
    image processing and computer vision problems based on a Lagrangian decomposition
    approach. The resulting algorithms are very effcient, offer a high degree of parallelism,
    and come along with memory requirements which are only in the order of the number
    of image pixels.

  text: We consider the recent formulation of the Algorithmic Lovász Local Lemma [1],
    [2] for finding objects that avoid &quot;bad features&quot;, or &quot;flaws&quot;.
    It extends the Moser-Tardos resampling algorithm [3] to more general discrete
    spaces. At each step the method picks a flaw present in the current state and
    &quot;resamples&quot; it using a &quot;resampling oracle&quot; provided by the
    user. However, it is less flexible than the Moser-Tardos method since [1], [2]
    require a specific flaw selection rule, whereas [3] allows an arbitrary rule (and
    thus can potentially be implemented more efficiently). We formulate a new &quot;commutativity&quot;
    condition, and prove that it is sufficient for an arbitrary rule to work. It also
    enables an efficient parallelization under an additional assumption. We then show
    that existing resampling oracles for perfect matchings and permutations do satisfy
    this condition. Finally, we generalize the precondition in [2] (in the case of
    symmetric potential causality graphs). This unifies special cases that previously
    were treated separately.

  text: 'We study the time-and memory-complexities of the problem of computing labels
    of (multiple) randomly selected challenge-nodes in a directed acyclic graph. The
    w-bit label of a node is the hash of the labels of its parents, and the hash function
    is modeled as a random oracle. Specific instances of this problem underlie both
    proofs of space [Dziembowski et al. CRYPTO’15] as well as popular memory-hard
    functions like scrypt. As our main tool, we introduce the new notion of a probabilistic
    parallel entangled pebbling game, a new type of combinatorial pebbling game on
    a graph, which is closely related to the labeling game on the same graph. As a
    first application of our framework, we prove that for scrypt, when the underlying
    hash function is invoked n times, the cumulative memory complexity (CMC) (a notion
    recently introduced by Alwen and Serbinenko (STOC’15) to capture amortized memory-hardness
    for parallel adversaries) is at least Ω(w · (n/ log(n))2). This bound holds for
    adversaries that can store many natural functions of the labels (e.g., linear
    combinations), but still not arbitrary functions thereof. We then introduce and
    study a combinatorial quantity, and show how a sufficiently small upper bound
    on it (which we conjecture) extends our CMC bound for scrypt to hold against arbitrary
    adversaries. We also show that such an upper bound solves the main open problem
    for proofs-of-space protocols: namely, establishing that the time complexity of
    computing the label of a random node in a graph on n nodes (given an initial kw-bit
    state) reduces tightly to the time complexity for black pebbling on the same graph
    (given an initial k-node pebbling).'

  text: "Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a fundamental algorithmic problem
    that appears in many areas of Computer Science. It can be equivalently stated
    as computing a homomorphism R→ΓΓ between two relational structures, e.g. between
    two directed graphs. Analyzing its complexity has been a prominent research direction,
    especially for the fixed template CSPs where the right side ΓΓ is fixed and the
    left side R is unconstrained.\r\n\r\nFar fewer results are known for the hybrid
    setting that restricts both sides simultaneously. It assumes that R belongs to
    a certain class of relational structures (called a structural restriction in this
    paper). We study which structural restrictions are effective, i.e. there exists
    a fixed template ΓΓ (from a certain class of languages) for which the problem
    is tractable when R is restricted, and NP-hard otherwise. We provide a characterization
    for structural restrictions that are closed under inverse homomorphisms. The criterion
    is based on the chromatic number of a relational structure defined in this paper;
    it generalizes the standard chromatic number of a graph.\r\n\r\nAs our main tool,
    we use the algebraic machinery developed for fixed template CSPs. To apply it
    to our case, we introduce a new construction called a “lifted language”. We also
    give a characterization for structural restrictions corresponding to minor-closed
    families of graphs, extend results to certain Valued CSPs (namely conservative
    valued languages), and state implications for (valued) CSPs with ordered variables
    and for the maximum weight independent set problem on some restricted families
    of graphs."

  text: An instance of the Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is given
    by a finite set of variables, a finite domain of labels, and a sum of functions,
    each function depending on a subset of the variables. Each function can take finite
    values specifying costs of assignments of labels to its variables or the infinite
    value, which indicates an infeasible assignment. The goal is to find an assignment
    of labels to the variables that minimizes the sum. We study, assuming that P ≠
    NP, how the complexity of this very general problem depends on the set of functions
    allowed in the instances, the so-called constraint language. The case when all
    allowed functions take values in {0, ∞} corresponds to ordinary CSPs, where one
    deals only with the feasibility issue and there is no optimization. This case
    is the subject of the Algebraic CSP Dichotomy Conjecture predicting for which
    constraint languages CSPs are tractable (i.e. solvable in polynomial time) and
    for which NP-hard. The case when all allowed functions take only finite values
    corresponds to finite-valued CSP, where the feasibility aspect is trivial and
    one deals only with the optimization issue. The complexity of finite-valued CSPs
    was fully classified by Thapper and Zivny. An algebraic necessary condition for
    tractability of a general-valued CSP with a fixed constraint language was recently
    given by Kozik and Ochremiak. As our main result, we prove that if a constraint
    language satisfies this algebraic necessary condition, and the feasibility CSP
    (i.e. the problem of deciding whether a given instance has a feasible solution)
    corresponding to the VCSP with this language is tractable, then the VCSP is tractable.
    The algorithm is a simple combination of the assumed algorithm for the feasibility
    CSP and the standard LP relaxation. As a corollary, we obtain that a dichotomy
    for ordinary CSPs would imply a dichotomy for general-valued CSPs.

  text: Proofs of work (PoW) have been suggested by Dwork and Naor (Crypto’92) as
    protection to a shared resource. The basic idea is to ask the service requestor
    to dedicate some non-trivial amount of computational work to every request. The
    original applications included prevention of spam and protection against denial
    of service attacks. More recently, PoWs have been used to prevent double spending
    in the Bitcoin digital currency system. In this work, we put forward an alternative
    concept for PoWs - so-called proofs of space (PoS), where a service requestor
    must dedicate a significant amount of disk space as opposed to computation. We
    construct secure PoS schemes in the random oracle model (with one additional mild
    assumption required for the proof to go through), using graphs with high “pebbling
    complexity” and Merkle hash-trees. We discuss some applications, including follow-up
    work where a decentralized digital currency scheme called Spacecoin is constructed
    that uses PoS (instead of wasteful PoW like in Bitcoin) to prevent double spending.
    The main technical contribution of this work is the construction of (directed,
    loop-free) graphs on N vertices with in-degree O(log logN) such that even if one
    places Θ(N) pebbles on the nodes of the graph, there’s a constant fraction of
    nodes that needs Θ(N) steps to be pebbled (where in every step one can put a pebble
    on a node if all its parents have a pebble).

  text: We propose a new family of message passing techniques for MAP estimation in
    graphical models which we call Sequential Reweighted Message Passing (SRMP). Special
    cases include well-known techniques such as Min-Sum Diffusion (MSD) and a faster
    Sequential Tree-Reweighted Message Passing (TRW-S). Importantly, our derivation
    is simpler than the original derivation of TRW-S, and does not involve a decomposition
    into trees. This allows easy generalizations. The new family of algorithms can
    be viewed as a generalization of TRW-S from pairwise to higher-order graphical
    models. We test SRMP on several real-world problems with promising results.

  text: "Structural support vector machines (SSVMs) are amongst the best performing
    models for structured computer vision tasks, such as semantic image segmentation
    or human pose estimation. Training SSVMs, however, is computationally costly,
    because it requires repeated calls to a structured prediction subroutine (called
    \\emph{max-oracle}), which has to solve an optimization problem itself, e.g. a
    graph cut.\r\nIn this work, we introduce a new algorithm for SSVM training that
    is more efficient than earlier techniques when the max-oracle is computationally
    expensive, as it is frequently the case in computer vision tasks. The main idea
    is to (i) combine the recent stochastic Block-Coordinate Frank-Wolfe algorithm
    with efficient hyperplane caching, and (ii) use an automatic selection rule for
    deciding whether to call the exact max-oracle or to rely on an approximate one
    based on the cached hyperplanes.\r\nWe show experimentally that this strategy
    leads to faster convergence to the optimum with respect to the number of requires
    oracle calls, and that this translates into faster convergence with respect to
    the total runtime when the max-oracle is slow compared to the other steps of the
    algorithm. "

  text: "A class of valued constraint satisfaction problems (VCSPs) is characterised
    by a valued constraint language, a fixed set of cost functions on a finite domain.
    Finite-valued constraint languages contain functions that take on rational costs
    and general-valued constraint languages contain functions that take on rational
    or infinite costs. An instance of the problem is specified by a sum of functions
    from the language with the goal to minimise the sum. This framework includes and
    generalises well-studied constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) and maximum constraint
    satisfaction problems (Max-CSPs).\r\nOur main result is a precise algebraic characterisation
    of valued constraint languages whose instances can be solved exactly by the basic
    linear programming relaxation (BLP). For a general-valued constraint language
    Γ, BLP is a decision procedure for Γ if and only if Γ admits a symmetric fractional
    polymorphism of every arity. For a finite-valued constraint language Γ, BLP is
    a decision procedure if and only if Γ admits a symmetric fractional polymorphism
    of some arity, or equivalently, if Γ admits a symmetric fractional polymorphism
    of arity 2.\r\nUsing these results, we obtain tractability of several novel and
    previously widely-open classes of VCSPs, including problems over valued constraint
    languages that are: (1) submodular on arbitrary lattices; (2) bisubmodular (also
    known as k-submodular) on arbitrary finite domains; (3) weakly (and hence strongly)
    tree-submodular on arbitrary trees. "

  text: "Energies with high-order non-submodular interactions have been shown to be
    very useful in vision due to their high modeling power. Optimization of such energies,
    however, is generally NP-hard. A naive approach that works for small problem instances
    is exhaustive search, that is, enumeration of all possible labelings of the underlying
    graph. We propose a general minimization approach for large graphs based on enumeration
    of labelings of certain small patches. \r\nThis partial enumeration technique
    reduces complex high-order energy formulations to pairwise Constraint Satisfaction
    Problems with unary costs (uCSP), which can be efficiently solved using standard
    methods like TRW-S. Our approach outperforms a number of existing state-of-the-art
    algorithms on well known difficult problems (e.g. curvature regularization, stereo,
    deconvolution); it gives near global minimum and better speed. \r\nOur main application
    of interest is curvature regularization. In the context of segmentation, our partial
    enumeration technique allows to evaluate curvature directly on small patches using
    a novel integral geometry approach.\r\n"
