A Constant-factor Approximation Algorithm for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Jakub Tarnawski

We give a constant-factor approximation algorithm for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem (ATSP). Our approximation guarantee is analyzed with respect to the standard LP relaxation, and thus our result confirms the conjectured constant integrality ga ...

New Graph Algorithms via Polyhedral Techniques

Jakub Tarnawski

In this thesis we give new algorithms for two fundamental graph problems. We develop novel ways of using linear programming formulations, even exponential-sized ones, to extract structure from problem instances and to guide algorithms in making progress. S ...

Constant factor approximation for ATSP with two edge weights

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Jakub Tarnawski

We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem on shortest path metrics of directed graphs with two different edge weights. For the case of unit edge weights, the first constant factor approximation was give ...

Active Learning and Proofreading for Delineation of Curvilinear Structures

Pascal Fua, Agata Justyna Mosinska, Jakub Tarnawski

Many state-of-the-art delineation methods rely on supervised machine learning algorithms. As a result, they require manually annotated training data, which is tedious to obtain. Furthermore, even minor classification errors may significantly affect the top ...

Streaming Robust Submodular Maximization: A Partitioned Thresholding Approach

Volkan Cevher, Ilija Bogunovic, Slobodan Mitrovic, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Jakub Tarnawski

We study the classical problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint k, with two additional twists: (i) elements arrive in a streaming fashion and (ii) m items from the algorithm’s memory might be removed after th ...
