The Max-Flow/Min-Cut problem is a fundamental tool in graph theory, with applications in many domains, including data mining, image segmentation, transportation planning, and many types of assignment problems, in addition to being an essential building block for many other algorithms. The Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm for Max-Flow/Min-Cut and its variants are therefore commonly taught in undergraduate and beginning graduate algorithms classes. However, these algorithms - and in particular the so-called residual graphs they utilize - often pose significant challenges for students.

Web is increasingly becoming the primary platform to deliver AI services onto edge devices, making in-browser deep learning (DL) inference more prominent. Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of edge devices, combined with the underdeveloped state of Web hardware acceleration practices, hinders current in-browser inference from achieving its full performance potential on target devices.
