%X The graph similarity problem, also known as approximate graph isomorphism or
   graph matching problem, has been extensively studied in the [ML]  community,
   but has not received much attention in the algorithms community: Given two
   graphs G, H of the same order n with adjacency matrices A_G, A_H, a
   well-studied measure of similarity is the Frobenius distance
   dist(G,H):=min_pi ||A^pi_G - A_H||_F, where pi ranges over all perms. of the
   vertex set of  G  ... The (weighted) graph similarity problem, denoted by
   SIM (WSIM), is the problem of computing this distnce or two graphs of same
   order. This problem is closely related to the notoriously hard quadratic
   assignment problem (QAP), which is known to be NP-hard even for severely
   restricted cases.  ... We show that WSIM is NP-hard as long as one of the
   matrices has unbounded rank or negative eigenvalues: hence, the realm of
   tractability is restricted to positive semi-definite matrices of bounded
   rank. Our main result is a polynomial time alg. for the special case where
   one of the matrices has a bounded clustering number, a parameter arising from
   spectral graph drawing techniques."

   "... arguing that neuroplasticity - the virtually limitless capacity of the
   brain to remould itself - is enough to overcome almost any condition, however
   life-limiting it seems. Like the fathers and mothers of psychiatry, Birbaumer
   explores the sometimes-wild frontiers of a new way of thinking about our
   brains and behaviour. Through actual cases from his research and practice,
   he shows how we can change through brain training alone - and without risky
   drugs - if we simply open our minds."

   characteristics can be accurately predicted from their digital footprints,
   such as their Facebook Likes or Tweets. Capitalizing on this form of
   psychological assessment from digital footprints, we test the effects of
   psychological persuasion on people's actual behavior in an ecologically
   valid setting. In three field experiments that reached over 3.5 million
   individuals with psychologically tailored advertising, we find that matching
   the content of persuasive appeals to individuals' psychological
   characteristics significantly altered their behavior as measured by clicks &
   purchases. Persuasive appeals that were matched to people's extraversion or
   openness-to-experience level resulted in up to 40% more clicks & up to 50%
   more purchases than their mismatching or unpersonalized counterparts. Our
   findings suggest that the application of psychological targeting makes it
   possible to influence the behavior of large groups of people by tailoring
   persuasive appeals to the psychological needs of the target audiences. We
   discuss both the potential benefits of this method for helping individuals
   make better decisions & the potential pitfalls related to manipulation &
