Better Learning-Augmented Spanning Tree Algorithms via Metric Forest Completion
Nate Veldt, Thomas Stanley, Benjamin W. Priest +5
We present improved learning-augmented algorithms for finding an approximate minimum spanning tree (MST) for points in an arbitrary metric space. Our work follows a recent framewor…

Edge-Colored Clustering in Hypergraphs: Beyond Minimizing Unsatisfied Edges
Alex Crane, Thomas Stanley, Blair D. Sullivan +1
We consider a framework for clustering edge-colored hypergraphs, where the goal is to cluster (equivalently, to color) objects based on the primary type of multiway interactions th…

Approximate Tree Completion and Learning-Augmented Algorithms for Metric Minimum Spanning Trees
Nate Veldt, Thomas Stanley, Benjamin W. Priest +4
Finding a minimum spanning tree (MST) for points in an arbitrary metric space is a fundamental primitive for hierarchical clustering and many other ML tasks, but this takes $Ω…
