Pareto-Optimal Parameterized Algorithms (PaPaAlg)

Start date: Feb 1, 2017, End date: Jan 31, 2022,

In this project we revise the foundations of parameterized complexity, a modern multi-variate approach to algorithm design. The underlying question of every algorithmic paradigm is ``what is the best algorithm?'' When the running time of algorithms is measured in terms of only one variable, it is easy to compare which one is the fastest. However, when the running time depends on more than one vari...

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2021,

"One of the most perplexing phenomena of the human mind is the conviction of perceiving a "voice" in the absence of an external auditory source. This is called an auditory hallucination (AH), and is the most characteristic symptom of the most severe mental disorder, schizophrenia. Understanding the phenomenology, cognitive, and neurobiological underpinnings of AHs will not only provide new insight...
