Algorithm chapter 10
Algorithm chapter 10chidabdu This document discusses P, NP and NP-complete problems. It begins by introducing tractable and intractable problems, and defines problems that can be solved in polynomial time as tractable, while problems that cannot are intractable. It then discusses the classes P and NP, with P containing problems that can be solved deterministically in polynomial time, and NP containing problems that can be solved non-deterministically in polynomial time. The document concludes by defining NP-complete problems as those in NP that are as hard as any other problem in the class, in that any NP problem can be reduced to an NP-complete problem in polynomial time.
P vs NP
P vs NP Mikel Qafa The document discusses the P vs NP problem in computer science, highlighting the complexity of problem-solving and verification. It defines polynomial and exponential runtimes, categorizes problems into P and NP classes, and explains NP-complete problems. The fundamental question posed is whether every problem with an efficiently verifiable solution can also be solved efficiently, with the consensus in the scientific community leaning towards P not equaling NP.
P versus NP
P versus NPFarid El Hajj This document discusses the P versus NP problem in complexity theory. The P class contains problems that can be solved quickly by algorithms, while NP contains problems that can be verified quickly given a proposed solution. It is unknown whether NP problems can also be solved quickly (meaning P=NP), or if finding solutions to NP problems requires exponential time (meaning P≠NP). Solving this problem could have significant impacts on fields like cryptography, optimization, and theorem proving. However, despite extensive research, the P versus NP problem remains unsolved.

Np completeness
Np completenessRajendran 1) NP-Completeness refers to problems that are in NP (can be verified in polynomial time) and are as hard as any problem in NP.
2) The first problem proven to be NP-Complete was the Circuit Satisfiability problem, which asks whether there exists an input assignment that makes a Boolean circuit output 1.
3) To prove a problem P is NP-Complete, it must be shown that P is in NP and that any problem in NP can be reduced to P in polynomial time. This establishes P as at least as hard as any problem in NP.

the halting_problem
the halting_problemRajendran The document discusses the halting problem, which asks if there are problems for which no algorithm exists. Alan Turing proved that non-computable problems exist by introducing the halting problem - determining if a given program will ever finish running. The document shows that no procedure can solve the halting problem by considering a paradoxical program: if it says the program halts, it leads to a contradiction, and if it says the program doesn't halt, it also leads to a contradiction. This proves the halting problem is non-computable, as any procedure to solve it would have to either give the wrong answer or not terminate. A formal model of computation is needed to give a rigorous proof.

Analysis of algorithmsMallikarjun Biradar Performance analysis is important for algorithms and software features. Asymptotic analysis evaluates how an algorithm's time or space requirements grow with increasing input size, ignoring constants and machine-specific factors. This allows algorithms to be analyzed and compared regardless of machine or small inputs. The document discusses common time complexities like O(1), O(n), O(n log n), and analyzing worst, average, and best cases. It also covers techniques like recursion, amortized analysis, and the master method for solving algorithm recurrences.

Lecture 02 internet video search
Lecture 02 internet video searchzukun System 1 and System 2 were basic early systems for image matching that used color and texture matching. Descriptor-based approaches like SIFT provided more invariance but not perfect invariance. Patch descriptors like SIFT were improved by making them more invariant to lighting changes like color and illumination shifts.

Iccv2011 learning spatiotemporal graphs of human activities
Iccv2011 learning spatiotemporal graphs of human activities zukun The document presents a new approach for learning spatiotemporal graphs of human activities from weakly supervised video data. The approach uses 2D+t tubes as mid-level features to represent activities as segmentation graphs, with nodes describing tubes and edges describing various relations. A probabilistic graph mixture model is used to model activities, and learning estimates the model parameters and permutation matrices using a structural EM algorithm. The learned models allow recognizing and segmenting activities in new videos through robust least squares inference. Evaluation on benchmark datasets demonstrates the ability to learn characteristic parts of activities and recognize them under weak supervision.

Using the SQLExecutor for Data Quality Management: aka One man's love for the...Safe Software The SQLExecutor is one of FME’s most powerful and flexible transformers. Pivvot maintains a robust internal metadata hierarchy used to support ingestion and curation of thousands of external data sources that must be managed for quality before entering our platform. By using the SQLExecutor, Pivvot can efficiently detect problems and perform analysis before data is extracted from our staging environment, removing the need for rollbacks or cycles waisted on a failed job. This presentation will walk through three distinct examples of how Pivvot uses the SQLExecutor to engage its metadata hierarchy and integrate with its Data Quality Management workflows efficiently and within the source postgres database. Spatial Validation –Validating spatial prerequisites before entering a production environment. Reference Data Validation - Dynamically validate domain-ed columns across any table and multiple columns per table. Practical De-duplication - Removing identical or near-identical well point locations from two distinct source datasets in the same table.
From Manual to Auto Searching- FME in the Driver's Seat
From Manual to Auto Searching- FME in the Driver's SeatSafe Software Finding a specific car online can be a time-consuming task, especially when checking multiple dealer websites. A few years ago, I faced this exact problem while searching for a particular vehicle in New Zealand. The local classified platform, Trade Me (similar to eBay), wasn’t yielding any results, so I expanded my search to second-hand dealer sites—only to realise that periodically checking each one was going to be tedious. That’s when I noticed something interesting: many of these websites used the same platform to manage their inventories. Recognising this, I reverse-engineered the platform’s structure and built an FME workspace that automated the search process for me. By integrating API calls and setting up periodic checks, I received real-time email alerts when matching cars were listed. In this presentation, I’ll walk through how I used FME to save hours of manual searching by creating a custom car-finding automation system. While FME can’t buy a car for you—yet—it can certainly help you find the one you’re after!

Improving Data Integrity: Synchronization between EAM and ArcGIS Utility Netw...Safe Software Utilities and water companies play a key role in the creation of clean drinking water. The creation and maintenance of clean drinking water is becoming a critical problem due to pollution and pressure on the environment. A lot of data is necessary to create clean drinking water. For fieldworkers, two types of data are key: Asset data in an asset management system (EAM for example) and Geographic data in a GIS (ArcGIS Utility Network ). Keeping this type of data up to date and in sync is a challenge for many organizations, leading to duplicating data and creating a bulk of extra attributes and data to keep everything in sync. Using FME, it is possible to synchronize Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) data with the ArcGIS Utility Network in real time. Changes (creation, modification, deletion) in ArcGIS Pro are relayed to EAM via FME, and vice versa. This ensures continuous synchronization of both systems without daily bulk updates, minimizes risks, and seamlessly integrates with ArcGIS Utility Network services. This presentation focuses on the use of FME at a Dutch water company, to create a sync between the asset management and GIS.

Skiena algorithm 2007 lecture01 introduction to algorithms
- 1. Lecture 1: Introduction to Algorithms Steven Skiena Department of Computer Science State University of New York Stony Brook, NY 11794–4400 http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/∼skiena
- 2. What Is An Algorithm? Algorithms are the ideas behind computer programs. An algorithm is the thing which stays the same whether the program is in Pascal running on a Cray in New York or is in BASIC running on a Macintosh in Kathmandu! To be interesting, an algorithm has to solve a general, specified problem. An algorithmic problem is specified by describing the set of instances it must work on and what desired properties the output must have.
- 3. Example: Sorting Input: A sequence of N numbers a1 ...an Output: the permutation (reordering) of the input sequence such as a1 ≤ a2 . . . ≤ an. We seek algorithms which are correct and efficient.
- 4. Correctness For any algorithm, we must prove that it always returns the desired output for all legal instances of the problem. For sorting, this means even if (1) the input is already sorted, or (2) it contains repeated elements. Algorithm correctness is not obvious in many optimization problems!
- 5. Robot Tour Optimization Suppose you have a robot arm equipped with a tool, say a soldering iron. To enable the robot arm to do a soldering job, we must construct an ordering of the contact points, so the robot visits (and solders) the points in order. We seek the order which minimizes the testing time (i.e. travel distance) it takes to assemble the circuit board.
- 6. Find the Shortest Robot Tour You are given the job to program the robot arm. Give me an algorithm to find the best tour!
- 7. Nearest Neighbor Tour A popular solution starts at some point p0 and then walks to its nearest neighbor p1 first, then repeats from p1 , etc. until done. Pick and visit an initial point p0 p = p0 i=0 While there are still unvisited points i=i+1 Let pi be the closest unvisited point to pi−1 Visit pi Return to p0 from pi
- 8. Nearest Neighbor Tour is Wrong! -21 -5 -1 0 1 3 11 -21 -5 -1 0 1 3 11 Starting from the leftmost point will not fix the problem.
- 9. Closest Pair Tour Another idea is to repeatedly connect the closest pair of points whose connection will not cause a cycle or a three-way branch, until all points are in one tour. Let n be the number of points in the set d=∞ For i = 1 to n − 1 do For each pair of endpoints (x, y) of partial paths If dist(x, y) ≤ d then xm = x, ym = y, d = dist(x, y) Connect (xm , ym) by an edge Connect the two endpoints by an edge.
- 10. Closest Pair Tour is Wrong! Although it works correctly on the previous example, other data causes trouble:
- 11. A Correct Algorithm: Exhaustive Search We could try all possible orderings of the points, then select the one which minimizes the total length: d=∞ For each of the n! permutations Πi of the n points If (cost(Πi) ≤ d) then d = cost(Πi) and Pmin = Πi Return Pmin Since all possible orderings are considered, we are guaranteed to end up with the shortest possible tour.
- 12. Exhaustive Search is Slow! Because it tries all n! permutations, it is much too slow to use when there are more than 10-20 points. No efficient, correct algorithm exists for the traveling salesman problem, as we will see later.
- 13. Efficiency: Why Not Use a Supercomputer? A faster algorithm running on a slower computer will always win for sufficiently large instances, as we shall see. Usually, problems don’t have to get that large before the faster algorithm wins.
- 14. Expressing Algorithms We need some way to express the sequence of steps comprising an algorithm. In order of increasing precision, we have English, pseu- docode, and real programming languages. Unfortunately, ease of expression moves in the reverse order. I prefer to describe the ideas of an algorithm in English, moving to pseudocode to clarify sufficiently tricky details of the algorithm. Algorithms problems must be carefully specified to allow a provably correct algorithm to exist. We can find the “shortest tour” but not the “best tour”. %swallow
- 15. Selecting the Right Jobs A movie star wants to the select the maximum number of staring roles such that no two jobs require his presence at the same time. Tarjan of the Jungle The Four Volume Problem The President’s Algorist Steiner’s Tree Process Terminated Halting State Programming Challenges "Discrete" Mathematics Calculated Bets
- 16. The Movie Star Scheduling Problem Input: A set I of n intervals on the line. Output: What is the largest subset of mutually non- overlapping intervals which can be selected from I? Give an algorithm to solve the problem!
- 17. Earliest Job First Start working as soon as there is work available: EarliestJobFirst(I) Accept the earlest starting job j from I which does not overlap any previously accepted job, and repeat until no more such jobs remain.
- 18. Earliest Job First is Wrong! The first job might be so long (War and Peace) that it prevents us from taking any other job.
- 19. Shortest Job First Always take the shortest possible job, so you spend the least time working (and thus unavailable). ShortestJobFirst(I) While (I = ∅) do Accept the shortest possible job j from I. Delete j, and intervals which intersect j from I.
- 20. Shortest Job First is Wrong! Taking the shortest job can prevent us from taking two longer jobs which barely overlap it.
- 21. First Job to Complete Take the job with the earliest completion date: OptimalScheduling(I) While (I = ∅) do Accept job j with the earliest completion date. Delete j, and whatever intersects j from I.
- 22. First Job to Complete is Optimal! Other jobs may well have started before the first to complete (x), but all must at least partially overlap each other. Thus we can select at most one from the group. The first these jobs to complete is x, so the rest can only block out more opportunties to the right of x.
- 23. Demonstrating Incorrectness Searching for counterexamples is the best way to disprove the correctness of a heuristic. • Think about all small examples. • Think about examples with ties on your decision criteria (e.g. pick the nearest point) • Think about examples with extremes of big and small. . .
- 24. Induction and Recursion Failure to find a counterexample to a given algorithm does not mean “it is obvious” that the algorithm is correct. Mathematical induction is a very useful method for proving the correctness of recursive algorithms. Recursion and induction are the same basic idea: (1) basis case, (2) general assumption, (3) general case. n i = n(n + 1)/2 i=1
