  2. MAP Estimation θi(xi) • Energy Function • MAP Estimation: Find the labeling which minimizes the energy function • NP Hard in general xi θij(xi,xj) xj

  3. Popular Approximation • Based on this LP relaxation • Can be solved efficiently using Message Passing algorithms (TRW-S) and Graph cut based algorithms (QPBO)

  4. Tightening Pairwise LP Relaxation • MPLP (David Sontag et.al 2008), Cycle Repairing Algorithm (Nikos Komodakis et.al 2008) • MPLP uses higher order relaxation

  5. Tightening Pairwise LP Relaxation • MPLP (David Sontag et.al 2008), Cycle Repairing Algorithm (Nikos Komodakis et.al 2008) • MPLP uses higher order relaxation

  6. MAP Estimation via Graph Cuts • Construct a specialized graph for the particular energy function • Minimum cut on this graph minimizes the energy function • Exact MAP in polynomial time when the energy function is sub-modular

  7. Assumption on Parameters • Symmetric, that isand • Zero-normalized, that is and • Any Energy function can be transformed in to an equivalent energy function of this form

  13. Bipartite Multi-Cut problem • Given an undirected graph with non-negative edge weights and k ST pairs • Objective: Find the minimum cut with divides the graph into 2 regions and separates the ST pairs • LP and SDP Relaxations (SreyashKenkreet.al 2006) • LP Relaxation gives approximation • SDP Relaxation gives approximation • Bipartite Multi-Cut vs Multi-Cut • Additional constraint on the number of regions the graph is cut

  22. Multi-Cut LP • denotes all paths between pair of vertices in ST • denotes the set of paths in which contain edge e • Can be solved approximately i.eε-approximation for any error parameter ε Multi – Cut LP Multi -Commodity Flow LP

  23. Symmetric BMC LP (BMC-Sym LP) • Very similar to Multi-Cut LP except for the symmetric constraints

  24. Equivalence of LPs Theorem – When the constructed graph is symmetric, BMC LP, BMC-Sym LP and Multi-Cut LP are equivalent Proof Outline • Any feasible solution of each of the LP can be transformed into a feasible solution of other LPs without changing the objective value

  26. Relationship with Cycle Inequalities • BMC LP is closely related to cycle inequalities • BMC LP with slight modification is equivalent to cycle inequalities • Relates our work to many recent works solving cycle inequalities

  27. Empirical Results • Data Sets • Synthetic Problems • Clique Graphical models • Benchmark Data Set • Algorithms • TRW-S • BMC • ε = 0.02 • MPLP • 1000 iterations or up to convergence
