We propose a faster and more accurate method for learning classification trees.

problem Learning optimal binary classification trees is challenging and slow.
method We introduce a stronger MIP formulation and Benders' decomposition method.
result Our method is 50 times faster and improves out-of-sample performance.

The Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) formula relates the entanglement entropy of a region in a holographic theory to the area of a corresponding bulk minimal surface. Using the max flow-min cut principle, a theorem from network theory, we rewrite the RT formula in a way that does not make reference to the minimal surface. Instead, …

Proves a generalized isoperimetric inequality for spheres in dimensions 4 and above.

problem Proving a generalized isoperimetric inequality for spheres in dimensions 4 and above.
method Reduced to a theorem about thick embeddings of graphs, proved using Kolmogorov-Barzdin theorem and max-flow min-cut theorem. Counterexample in dimension 3 uses coarea inequality and winding number computation.
result A generalized isoperimetric inequality for spheres in dimensions 4 and above.

A self-contained account of the theory of structure trees for edge cuts in networks is given. Applications include a generalisation of the Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem to infinite networks and a short proof of a conjecture of Kropholler. This gives a relative version of Stallings' Theorem on the structure of groups with mo…

In this paper it is shown that for any network there is a uniquely determined network based on a structure tree that provides a convenient way of determining a minimal cut separating a pair s,ts, t where each of s,ts, t is either a vertex or an end in the original network. A Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem is proved for any net…

The study compares prepaid and postpaid mobile phone users and predicts their subscription type.

problem Predicting mobile phone subscription type based on usage and network connections.
method Graph labelling approach using max-flow min-cut algorithms and indirect inference methods.
result Graph labelling approach achieves 87% classification accuracy, outperforming supervised learning methods.

Positive configurations of points in the affine building were introduced in \cite{Le} as the basic object needed to define higher laminations. We start by giving a self-contained, elementary definition of positive configurations of points in the affine building and their basic properties. Then we study the geometry of …

Min-cut clustering, based on minimizing one of two heuristic cost-functions proposed by Shi and Malik, has spawned tremendous research, both analytic and algorithmic, in the graph partitioning and image segmentation communities over the last decade. It is however unclear if these heuristics can be derived from a more g…

Submodular functions can be exactly minimized in polynomial time, and the special case that graph cuts solve with max flow \cite{KZ:PAMI04} has had significant impact in computer vision \cite{BVZ:PAMI01,Kwatra:SIGGRAPH03,Rother:GrabCut04}. In this paper we address the important class of sum-of-submodular (SoS) function…

McCullagh and Yang (2006) suggest a family of classification algorithms based on Cox processes. We further investigate the log Gaussian variant which has a number of appealing properties. Conditioned on the covariates, the distribution over labels is given by a type of conditional Markov random field. In the supervised…
