Abstract. According to the No Free Lunch (NFL) theorems all blackbox algorithms perform equally well when compared over the entire set of optimization problems. An important proble...
L1 regularized logistic regression is now a workhorse of machine learning: it is widely used for many classification problems, particularly ones with many features. L1 regularized...

Proximal bundle methods have been shown to be highly successful optimization methods for unconstrained convex problems with discontinuous first derivatives. This naturally leads ...
We propose a programming paradigm called compress-and-conquer (CC) that leads to optimal performance on multicore platforms. Given a multicore system of p cores and a problem of s...
