text: "A Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) provides a common framework
that can express a wide range of discrete optimization problems. A VCSP instance
is given by a finite set of variables, a finite domain of labels, and an objective
function to be minimized. This function is represented as a sum of terms where
each term depends on a subset of the variables. To obtain different classes of
optimization problems, one can restrict all terms to come from a fixed set Γ of
cost functions, called a language. \r\nRecent breakthrough results have established
a complete complexity classification of such classes with respect to language
Γ: if all cost functions in Γ satisfy a certain algebraic condition then all Γ-instances
can be solved in polynomial time, otherwise the problem is NP-hard. Unfortunately,
testing this condition for a given language Γ is known to be NP-hard. We thus
study exponential algorithms for this meta-problem. We show that the tractability
condition of a finite-valued language Γ can be tested in O(3‾√3|D|⋅poly(size(Γ)))
time, where D is the domain of Γ and poly(⋅) is some fixed polynomial. We also
obtain a matching lower bound under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH).
More precisely, we prove that for any constant δ<1 there is no O(3‾√3δ|D|) algorithm,
assuming that SETH holds."

text: It is well known that many problems in image recovery, signal processing,
and machine learning can be modeled as finding zeros of the sum of maximal monotone
and Lipschitz continuous monotone operators. Many papers have studied forward-backward
splitting methods for finding zeros of the sum of two monotone operators in Hilbert
spaces. Most of the proposed splitting methods in the literature have been proposed
for the sum of maximal monotone and inverse-strongly monotone operators in Hilbert
spaces. In this paper, we consider splitting methods for finding zeros of the
sum of maximal monotone operators and Lipschitz continuous monotone operators
in Banach spaces. We obtain weak and strong convergence results for the zeros
of the sum of maximal monotone and Lipschitz continuous monotone operators in
Banach spaces. Many already studied problems in the literature can be considered
as special cases of this paper.

text: The main contributions of this paper are the proposition and the convergence
analysis of a class of inertial projection-type algorithm for solving variational
inequality problems in real Hilbert spaces where the underline operator is monotone
and uniformly continuous. We carry out a unified analysis of the proposed method
under very mild assumptions. In particular, weak convergence of the generated
sequence is established and nonasymptotic O(1 / n) rate of convergence is established,
where n denotes the iteration counter. We also present some experimental results
to illustrate the profits gained by introducing the inertial extrapolation steps.

text: We develop a framework for the rigorous analysis of focused stochastic local
search algorithms. These algorithms search a state space by repeatedly selecting
some constraint that is violated in the current state and moving to a random nearby
state that addresses the violation, while (we hope) not introducing many new violations.
An important class of focused local search algorithms with provable performance
guarantees has recently arisen from algorithmizations of the Lovász local lemma
(LLL), a nonconstructive tool for proving the existence of satisfying states by
introducing a background measure on the state space. While powerful, the state
transitions of algorithms in this class must be, in a precise sense, perfectly
compatible with the background measure. In many applications this is a very restrictive
requirement, and one needs to step outside the class. Here we introduce the notion
of measure distortion and develop a framework for analyzing arbitrary focused
stochastic local search algorithms, recovering LLL algorithmizations as the special
case of no distortion. Our framework takes as input an arbitrary algorithm of
such type and an arbitrary probability measure and shows how to use the measure
as a yardstick of algorithmic progress, even for algorithms designed independently
of the measure.

text: We present a new proximal bundle method for Maximum-A-Posteriori (MAP) inference
in structured energy minimization problems. The method optimizes a Lagrangean
relaxation of the original energy minimization problem using a multi plane block-coordinate
Frank-Wolfe method that takes advantage of the specific structure of the Lagrangean
decomposition. We show empirically that our method outperforms state-of-the-art
Lagrangean decomposition based algorithms on some challenging Markov Random Field,
multi-label discrete tomography and graph matching problems.
