Laryn Qi

I'm a 5th-year Master's student in EECS at UC Berkeley. Prior, I received my Bachelor's in CS and Music at UC Berkeley. You can find my coursework here.

Currently, I'm interested in CS Education, CS Theory, and Machine Learning.

Implementations of various popular randomized graph algorithms. Topics and problems covered include  Cover Time,  Min Cut,  Stopping Time,  Approximate Max Cut,  and  Approximate Independent Set. Also includes an incomplete implementation of the first approximation algorithm for Minimum Balanced Cut by Spielman and Teng.

We present a survey on state-of-the-art cut algorithms. Topics and problems covered include  Fair Cuts,  Minimum Balanced Cut,  and  Sparsest Cut.
