Lifting Methods for Global Matching Problems
This proposal presents a research program aimed at breaking new ground in theoretical, algorithmic and practical aspects of the notoriously difficult matching problems. The main goal is developing a unified algorithmic framework for matching problems that enjoys theoretical guarantees and high practical value for ``real-life'' applications. The core methodological aspect is the modelling of matching problems as high-dimensional, lifted convex problems that can be efficiently approximated. We present several case-studies of this methodology, constructing efficient algorithms for approximating the solutions of important instances of the matching problem. The results already demonstrate state…
