We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
Computational social choice is a new discipline currently emerging at the interface of social choice theory and computer science. It is concerned with the application of computati...
Widespread accounts of the harmful effects of invasive species have stimulated both practical and theoretical studies on how the spread of these destructive agents can be containe...
A workshop on Network Analysis and Visualisation was held on September 11, 2005 in Limerick Ireland, in conjunction with 2005 Graph Drawing conference. This report review the backg...
Abstract. Phylogeny reconstruction from molecular data poses complex optimization problems: almost all optimization models are NP-hard and thus computationally intractable. Yet app...
