—Gaussian belief propagation is an iterative algorithm for computing the mean of a multivariate Gaussian distribution. Equivalently, the min-sum algorithm can be used to compute ...
The quadratic linear ordering problem naturally generalizes various optimization problems, such as bipartite crossing minimization or the betweenness problem, which includes linear...
Support vector machines utilizing the 1-norm, typically set up as linear programs (Mangasarian, 2000; Bradley and Mangasarian, 1998), are formulated here as a completely unconstra...
UOBYQA is a new algorithm for general unconstrained optimization calculations, that takes account of the curvature of the objective function, F say, by forming quadratic models by ...
We propose a scheme to introduce directionality in the Random Walker algorithm for image segmentation. In particular, we extend the optimization framework of this algorithm to com...
