The document discusses hypergraph cuts with general splitting functions, co-authored by Austin R. Benson, Nate Veldt, and Jon Kleinberg, presented at a SIAM annual symposium. It highlights the importance of minimum s-t cuts in graph theory and their applications in various fields including computer vision and semi-supervised learning. The work emphasizes that real-world systems exhibit higher-order interactions that can be modeled using hypergraphs.
