Machine-translated · View original
The lab researches algorithms that use graphs and optimization to solve problems on large-scale data quickly.

AboutAbout the lab
Designing fast algorithms for large-scale data.
The Large-Scale Data Mathematical Optimization Lab researches algorithms for large and complex data, centered on graph theory and mathematical optimization.
The lab designs fast algorithms that run in a realistic amount of time even on large-scale real-world data, and theoretically analyzes their computational complexity.
The lab also implements the algorithms it designs and verifies them.
The lab is a new lab that was established in April 2026.
Key terms
- Graph
- A mathematical structure made of points and the lines connecting them, used to represent connections such as those in a network.
- NP-hard
- A class of difficult problems for which the time needed to solve them is believed to grow very rapidly as the problem gets larger.
- Approximation algorithm
- A method that quickly finds a solution that may not be the best, but comes with a guarantee of how good it is.
- Combinatorial reconfiguration
- A field that studies procedures for changing one solution into another step by step while keeping the required conditions satisfied.
