— Motivated by some crowd motion models in the presence of noise, we consider an optimal control problem governed by the Fokker-Planck equation. We sketch optimality conditions b...
Abstract. Compared to normal learning algorithms, for example backpropagation, the optimal bounded ellipsoid (OBE) algorithm has some better properties, such as faster convergence,...
Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...
We present a flexible new optimization framework for finding effective, reliable pseudo-relevance feedback models that unifies existing complementary approaches in a principled wa...
— The input-queued switch architecture is widely used in Internet routers, due to its ability to run at very high line speeds. A central problem in designing an input-queued swit...
