L-Visibility Drawings of IC-planar Graphs
An IC-plane graph is a topological graph where every edge is crossed at most
once and no two crossed edges share a vertex. We show that every IC-plane graph
has a visibility drawing where every vertex is an L-shape, and every edge is
either a horizontal or vertical segment. As a byproduct of our drawing
technique, we prove that an IC-plane graph has a RAC drawing in quadratic area
with at most two bends per edge
Compact Drawings of 1-Planar Graphs with Right-Angle Crossings and Few Bends
We study the following classes of beyond-planar graphs: 1-planar, IC-planar,
and NIC-planar graphs. These are the graphs that admit a 1-planar, IC-planar,
and NIC-planar drawing, respectively. A drawing of a graph is 1-planar if every
edge is crossed at most once. A 1-planar drawing is IC-planar if no two pairs
of crossing edges share a vertex. A 1-planar drawing is NIC-planar if no two
pairs of crossing edges share two vertices. We study the relations of these
beyond-planar graph classes (beyond-planar graphs is a collective term for the
primary attempts to generalize the planar graphs) to right-angle crossing (RAC)
graphs that admit compact drawings on the grid with few bends. We present four
drawing algorithms that preserve the given embeddings. First, we show that
every -vertex NIC-planar graph admits a NIC-planar RAC drawing with at most
one bend per edge on a grid of size . Then, we show that
every -vertex 1-planar graph admits a 1-planar RAC drawing with at most two
bends per edge on a grid of size . Finally, we make two
known algorithms embedding-preserving; for drawing 1-planar RAC graphs with at
most one bend per edge and for drawing IC-planar RAC graphs straight-line
3D Visibility Representations of 1-planar Graphs
We prove that every 1-planar graph G has a z-parallel visibility
representation, i.e., a 3D visibility representation in which the vertices are
isothetic disjoint rectangles parallel to the xy-plane, and the edges are
unobstructed z-parallel visibilities between pairs of rectangles. In addition,
the constructed representation is such that there is a plane that intersects
all the rectangles, and this intersection defines a bar 1-visibility
representation of G.Comment: Appears in the Proceedings of the 25th International Symposium on

Pixel and Voxel Representations of Graphs
We study contact representations for graphs, which we call pixel
representations in 2D and voxel representations in 3D. Our representations are
based on the unit square grid whose cells we call pixels in 2D and voxels in
3D. Two pixels are adjacent if they share an edge, two voxels if they share a
face. We call a connected set of pixels or voxels a blob. Given a graph, we
represent its vertices by disjoint blobs such that two blobs contain adjacent
pixels or voxels if and only if the corresponding vertices are adjacent. We are
interested in the size of a representation, which is the number of pixels or
voxels it consists of.
We first show that finding minimum-size representations is NP-complete. Then,
we bound representation sizes needed for certain graph classes. In 2D, we show
that, for -outerplanar graphs with vertices, pixels are
always sufficient and sometimes necessary. In particular, outerplanar graphs
can be represented with a linear number of pixels, whereas general planar
graphs sometimes need a quadratic number. In 3D, voxels are
always sufficient and sometimes necessary for any -vertex graph. We improve
this bound to for graphs of treewidth and to
for graphs of genus . In particular, planar graphs
admit representations with voxels

Recognizing and Drawing IC-planar Graphs
IC-planar graphs are those graphs that admit a drawing where no two crossed
edges share an end-vertex and each edge is crossed at most once. They are a
proper subfamily of the 1-planar graphs. Given an embedded IC-planar graph
with vertices, we present an -time algorithm that computes a
straight-line drawing of in quadratic area, and an -time algorithm
that computes a straight-line drawing of with right-angle crossings in
exponential area. Both these area requirements are worst-case optimal. We also
show that it is NP-complete to test IC-planarity both in the general case and
in the case in which a rotation system is fixed for the input graph.
Furthermore, we describe a polynomial-time algorithm to test whether a set of
matching edges can be added to a triangulated planar graph such that the
resulting graph is IC-planar
Visibility Representations of Boxes in 2.5 Dimensions
We initiate the study of 2.5D box visibility representations (2.5D-BR) where
vertices are mapped to 3D boxes having the bottom face in the plane and
edges are unobstructed lines of sight parallel to the - or -axis. We
prove that: Every complete bipartite graph admits a 2.5D-BR; The
complete graph admits a 2.5D-BR if and only if ; Every
graph with pathwidth at most admits a 2.5D-BR, which can be computed in
linear time. We then turn our attention to 2.5D grid box representations
(2.5D-GBR) which are 2.5D-BRs such that the bottom face of every box is a unit
square at integer coordinates. We show that an -vertex graph that admits a
2.5D-GBR has at most edges and this bound is tight. Finally,
we prove that deciding whether a given graph admits a 2.5D-GBR with a given
footprint is NP-complete. The footprint of a 2.5D-BR is the set of
bottom faces of the boxes in .Comment: Appears in the Proceedings of the 24th International Symposium on

Comparing the hierarchy of keywords in on-line news portals
The tagging of on-line content with informative keywords is a widespread
phenomenon from scientific article repositories through blogs to on-line news
portals. In most of the cases, the tags on a given item are free words chosen
by the authors independently. Therefore, relations among keywords in a
collection of news items is unknown. However, in most cases the topics and
concepts described by these keywords are forming a latent hierarchy, with the
more general topics and categories at the top, and more specialised ones at the
bottom. Here we apply a recent, cooccurrence-based tag hierarchy extraction
method to sets of keywords obtained from four different on-line news portals.
The resulting hierarchies show substantial differences not just in the topics
rendered as important (being at the top of the hierarchy) or of less interest
(categorised low in the hierarchy), but also in the underlying network
structure. This reveals discrepancies between the plausible keyword association
frameworks in the studied news portals
Jet energy measurement with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at root s=7 TeV
The jet energy scale and its systematic uncertainty are determined for jets measured with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of âs = 7TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 38 pb-1. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-kt algorithm with distance parameters R=0. 4 or R=0. 6. Jet energy and angle corrections are determined from Monte Carlo simulations to calibrate jets with transverse momenta pTâ„20 GeV and pseudorapidities {pipe}η{pipe}<4. 5. The jet energy systematic uncertainty is estimated using the single isolated hadron response measured in situ and in test-beams, exploiting the transverse momentum balance between central and forward jets in events with dijet topologies and studying systematic variations in Monte Carlo simulations. The jet energy uncertainty is less than 2. 5 % in the central calorimeter region ({pipe}η{pipe}<0. 8) for jets with 60â€pT<800 GeV, and is maximally 14 % for pT<30 GeV in the most forward region 3. 2â€{pipe}η{pipe}<4. 5. The jet energy is validated for jet transverse momenta up to 1 TeV to the level of a few percent using several in situ techniques by comparing a well-known reference such as the recoiling photon pT, the sum of the transverse momenta of tracks associated to the jet, or a system of low-pT jets recoiling against a high-pT jet. More sophisticated jet calibration schemes are presented based on calorimeter cell energy density weighting or hadronic properties of jets, aiming for an improved jet energy resolution and a reduced flavour dependence of the jet response. The systematic uncertainty of the jet energy determined from a combination of in situ techniques is consistent with the one derived from single hadron response measurements over a wide kinematic range. The nominal corrections and uncertainties are derived for isolated jets in an inclusive sample of high-pT jets. Special cases such as event topologies with close-by jets, or selections of samples with an enhanced content of jets originating from light quarks, heavy quarks or gluons are also discussed and the corresponding uncertainties are determined. © 2013 CERN for the benefit of the ATLAS collaboration
Measurement of the inclusive and dijet cross-sections of b-jets in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
The inclusive and dijet production cross-sections have been measured for jets
containing b-hadrons (b-jets) in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass
energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The
measurements use data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34 pb^-1.
The b-jets are identified using either a lifetime-based method, where secondary
decay vertices of b-hadrons in jets are reconstructed using information from
the tracking detectors, or a muon-based method where the presence of a muon is
used to identify semileptonic decays of b-hadrons inside jets. The inclusive
b-jet cross-section is measured as a function of transverse momentum in the
range 20 < pT < 400 GeV and rapidity in the range |y| < 2.1. The bbbar-dijet
cross-section is measured as a function of the dijet invariant mass in the
range 110 < m_jj < 760 GeV, the azimuthal angle difference between the two jets
and the angular variable chi in two dijet mass regions. The results are
compared with next-to-leading-order QCD predictions. Good agreement is observed
between the measured cross-sections and the predictions obtained using POWHEG +
Pythia. MC@NLO + Herwig shows good agreement with the measured bbbar-dijet
cross-section. However, it does not reproduce the measured inclusive
cross-section well, particularly for central b-jets with large transverse
momenta.Comment: 10 pages plus author list (21 pages total), 8 figures, 1 table, final
